Reference no: EM132079097
Your company has recently hired a new person.
Shortly after this individual begins work, the company receives a "garnishment order." This court order specifies that a certain percentage of the employee's salary must be deducted each paycheck in order to satisfy a money judgment that has been entered against the employee.
After complying with the court order for several paychecks, the company receives another court order to stop paying the garnishment (it turns out the employee was not notified of the proceedings that lead to a money judgment against him).
A few months later, in the same case (it is a divorce case), the company receives ANOTHER court order directing the company to "garnish" a percentage of the employee's wages.
The boss shows up at your door.
"This is too much," he says. "I want to get rid of this guy because these garnishment orders are driving me crazy."
What would you advise the boss - about firing the employee for the garnishment orders, and about garnishment generally? What does the applicable federal law say and pick one state law on the issue as well. (Subject - Employment Law)
