What Employers Need to Know About Wage Garnishments
You have just been served with a writ of garnishment. One of your employees owes a debt and a court has mandated that a specific amount of that employee’s wages be withheld, or garnished, in payment of that debt. What do you do and what are your responsibilities in making payment for that debt?
