Garnishment types
A garnishment type is a specific kind of garnishment, such as child support. To streamline the set up, maintenance, and reporting of garnishments, you can use types to define the rules Payroll uses to calculate garnishments.
You assign a garnishment type to one category, which is a group of garnishments. Several garnishment types can be within a category.
You can define your own garnishment types; however, pre-defined garnishment types are delivered for the United States and Canada. The tables below list the garnishment types for each country.
