7.6.40 Service residence contribution

Guidance

Examples: Stairwell cleaning, high-rise window cleaning.

Guidance

A contribution is the amount a member must pay toward the cost of their Service residence or rent band choice home. It is paid through the member's pay account.

7.6.41 Contribution for Service residence or rent band choice home

Guidance

Example: A member's contribution is reduced by CDF by one rank group because the garage of their apartment complex is flooded and cannot be used for two months.

Non-example: The member's yard floods because they have failed to replace a leaky tap washer. The CDF does not grant a reduction in contribution, as the member's neglect caused the loss.
