Political contribution.

[Nomad]

The political levy currently makes up 10p per week of your Usdaw contribution rate. If you opt out then your weekly deduction will not decrease but you will be entitled to an annual refund of the political levy portion (i.e £5.20 for the year) directly from Usdaw. Usdaw currently process this as Tesco payroll are not set up to deduct the additional reduced politically exempt rates at present.

Once an initial refund has been made all future refunds are issued automatically on an annual basis.
