Reviewing Garnishment Brackets

To review garnishment brackets, use the Bracket FRA (GPFR_GAR_RATES) component.

Garnishment calculations are based on a payee's net taxable earnings. The attachable portion is calculated as a fraction of net taxable earnings and is adjusted if the payee has dependents. The government sets annual ceilings each year, which appear on the Garnishment Bracket page. PeopleSoft delivers the values in the garnishment bracket.

Note: To see the name of the variables that store the values in the garnishment bracket, access the Rates and Elements page using the component name GPFR_GAR_RATES.
