Misc A. Create/Edit/Delete Wage Garnishment (Optional)

What is a Garnishment?

A wage garnishment is a legal process in which an employer must deduct a specific amount from an employee’s earnings for payment to a third party. A court order or government order is required for a wage garnishment.

Why do I have to do this?

Failure of an employer to comply with a garnishment order, may result in penalties, fines, or the employer being held responsible for the full balance of the garnishment.

Note: A garnishment does not require the permission of the employee.
