Submitting Employee Wage Garnishments
You can enter employee wage garnishments using the Employee Garnishments form.
When a company is instructed to garnish employee’s wages, the notice of a garnishment typically includes specific instructions on how to deduct the garnishment. Garnishment checks are printed along with paychecks in a payroll batch to ensure prompt delivery to the payee.
The system includes these garnishment calculation features:
| • | State garnishment rules |
| • | State tax levies that are not limited by CCPA limits |
| • | Pro rata and Equal Share child support calculations |
| • | Priority and limit calculation logic when dealing with multiple garnishment types |
| • | Garnishment fees set up on rule record, but can be overridden for an individual order |
| • | Monthly garnishment fee maximums handled automatically |
| • | State garnishment rules determine if child support arrears should be deducted from supplemental pay checks |
Note:
| 1. | If under the Override Rules section, there is an Override Amount indicated and an Override Start Date and an Override Stop Date is not mentioned, then this override amount will be used to process payroll regardless of the date. |
| 2. | Clicking the fields that display as hyperlinks on this form opens a search criteria form; for example, clicking Payee opens the Select Payee form, where you can select an existing payee. |
The options available on the form vary based on the category of garnishment:
| • | Child Support Garnishments |
| • | Spousal Support Garnishments |
| • | IRS Tax Levy Garnishments |
| • | State Tax Levy Garnishments |
| • | Franchise Tax Board Garnishments |
| • | Bankruptcy Order Garnishments |
| • | Creditor Wage Garnishments |
| • | Student Loan Garnishments |
