Requirement that payment be made in one lump sum to a charitable organization is arguably more onerous than the procedure of monthly dues deducted from employee's salary. Lump sum payment rule would tend to discourage employees from seeking or remaining religious objectors because of the financial burden it imposes; p. 6, warning letter. Hudson notices and reductions are not required for religious objectors, because Hudson notification and reduction of service fees are only afforded to agency fee payers; p. 8, warning letter.
