During these times when payroll departments are being hit with more and more regulations keeping up with wage garnishment laws can be over whelming. Have you ever felt lost or confused when you received a garnishment, lien, levy or multiple orders?

It is important to know that if the payroll department does not follow certain procedures and withhold the correct amount that your company or you personally could be liable for the child support withholding or garnishment. Additionally, your company could wind up paying the garnishment and reimbursing the employee for the amount incorrectly withheld.

Did you know that employers are still the responsible party even if that company outsourced its payroll and related tax duties to a third-party payroll service provider that miscalculated the garnishment amount?

Do not believe the myth "My company is not liable".
