Garnishments in Spain
When a payee owes money to a third party for court-ordered obligations, such as child support, the employer might be required to deduct part of what is owed before the payee receives payment. The court order establishes the amount of the deduction and how it is deducted from a payee's salary. The deduction, known as a garnishment, is taken every month, according to the Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil, articles 607 and 608. Article 607 pertains to garnishments to be applied to income received due work. It requires that the size of the deduction depend on a payee's earnings and the number of dependents, and establishes a guaranteed net. Article 608 pertains to alimonies (spouse or child support) that can be deducted directly from the net.
The size of the deduction depends on the payee's earnings and the number of dependents.
