Garnishments

System-calculated limit processing results appear in this group box. If you have adjusted the garnishment balances, enter that value in the Limit Balance field on the Garnishment Spec Data 3 page .

The Limit Amount and Limit Balance amounts on the Garnishment Spec Data 3 page may not correspond to the Quarter-to-Date or Month-to-Date garnishment balances that appear here if an employee has not satisfied the garnishment amount during the calendar year.

During the year, the employee has $700 deducted for the garnishment The Limit Amount and Limit Balance field values are not re-set when the new year begins. The employee satisfies the garnishment in the new year, so the Year-to-Date garnishment amount is $500.00, which does not match the Limit Amount and Limit Balance on the Garnishment Spec Data 3 page.

Use the Adjust Garnishment Balance 2 page (ADJ_GRN_BAL2) to change garnishment balances.
