Understanding Garnishments

Because garnishment orders can come from different agencies, each having different reporting requirements, PeopleSoft Global Payroll for United States enables you to address the priority of each garnishment received by jurisdiction, type, and date or time of receipt. In the case of multiple garnishments of the same type, the system can determine which proration method to use and when. When funds are withheld, you can disburse them according to the method and schedule established by the issuing agency.
