Understanding Garnishment Deduction Setup

You set up a garnishment deduction to deduct court-ordered payments resulting from nonpayment of personal debts or overdue child support. The debts on which these imposed payments are based are already overdue. Because each deduction must match the court orders, you might need to set up separate deductions for different employees.

When you set up a garnishment deduction, you can use a garnishment table to calculate the amount to withhold, or you can set up the deduction without a table, and use the wage attachment method to calculate the amount to withhold.
