Overview of Involuntary Deduction Cards for Canada
An involuntary deduction is a court-ordered payment taken from the employee’s pay and then paid to a court or an individual person.
The deduction details for each involuntary deduction are captured on an Involuntary Deduction calculation card, which is attached to the employee.
