Garnishment Types

Garnishments are typically defined in one of these ways:

As a percent of total of gross earnings.
As a fixed quantity.
As a percentage of net pay.
As the total amount or percentage of a fixed set of earnings or deductions.
As a percentage of the payee's compensation.

Global Payroll for Mexico delivers five sample garnishment elements. You can modify these elements to fit your needs, or use them as models for creating your own garnishments.

Note: These garnishment types apply to all kinds of payroll processes: regular payroll, special payrolls, Christmas bonuses, termination pay, and so forth.
