Garnishments, liens and levies are a fact of life in payroll, and handling them is one of the most complex tasks payroll professionals face. This 90-minute wage garnishment training covers the basics, the different types and how to calculate them.
You'll learn about federal and state tax levies, child support, creditor garnishments, bankruptcy orders, student loans and wage assignments, and how to read, understand and evaluate each order. The session explains disposable income, the order of priority when an employee has multiple garnishments, how the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA) works and how to deal with different jurisdictions.
It also covers employer rights and responsibilities, garnishments for former employees, and building a well-planned process that limits risk and cost.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Federal, state and local rules must be followed to the letter, and payroll staff worry about penalties and even personal liability. Most employers would rather not be involved in employees' personal debts, but they must process orders correctly.
This session suits payroll employees and managers, HR personnel, accounting managers, business owners and anyone who handles support orders.
