Garnishments are court-ordered deductions from an employee's wages intended to repay debts, such as child support payments or overdue taxes.
For example, if an employee owes $200 per month for child support, this amount will be automatically deducted from their wages before they receive their paycheck.
Garnishments can affect an employee's take-home pay significantly and must be handled in compliance with legal requirements to ensure that the correct amounts are withheld.
