Garnishments: What Payroll Must Know to Stay In Compliance

Duration: 60 minutes

Even seasoned payroll professionals will tell you that garnishments are labor intensive and complex. Child support, student loans, tax levies and other creditor garnishments create countless challenges that can cost you valuable time and expose you to fines, legal liability and compliance trouble.

Some common mistakes: Deducting too much or too little, mis-prioritizing deductions, reporting garnishment incorrectly and using improper procedure to determine which garnishments you must honor.

To ensure that your organization avoids these pitfalls, and is up to speed on the latest rules, regulations and procedures, we’ve asked payroll expert Vicki Lambert to present this 60-minute program. She’ll cover the federal and state requirements, guidelines to deal with conflicting garnishment demands as well as tips for reducing processing time and costs.
