Wage garnishment can be a negative experience for the employee, which in turn can make it negative for employers. For employers, employee wage garnishment can put organizations in the middle of a situation that in many respects, is beyond their control. Additionally, they must balance payment obligations to workers against legal obligations from state and federal laws and court orders that compel employers to deduct a portion of employee’s wages to satisfy judgment creditors, custodial parents and tax and other agencies.
