Garnishments
Garnishments are court-ordered or creditor deductions made to an employee's pay. Within Payroll, you establish the garnishment by defining the governing tax authority, garnishment type, deduction code, the amount, and additional information pertaining to the garnishment.
After you define the rules used to calculate the garnishment, you assign garnishments to employees who have orders to have their wages garnished.
Example
Caroline Williams, an employee at Two Rivers, must have her wages garnished due to a child support order from the state of Virginia. Two Rivers first defines garnishment rules for a child support garnishment in the state of Virginia, then defines an employee garnishment for deducting the garnishment from Caroline's wages.
