Is an employer required to comply with a state garnishment law or with the federal law? What must an employer do when it is served with a garnishment order? What about the employee who is the subject of more than one order? How much will an employer have to withhold from a worker’s wages to honor an order? Join us for a 90 minute discussion of the rules for handling these difficult and sensitive issues. Be sure your employees receive the fair treatment they deserve under the law while you also protect your company from liability. Another important topic the speaker will discuss in this webinar is “Abandoned wages.’ It is every
employer’s responsibility to identify which paychecks have remained unclaimed by employees and to turn over these “unclaimed wages” to the appropriate state annually. But most employers are unaware of this requirement and are equally unaware of the penalties, fines and especially interest that can be levied against such employers by the state. Learn about state law requirements regarding abandoned wages, including when and how to turn over these unclaimed wages to the state.
