Additional Information

If the employee has more than one Garnishment over time, the Amount in Employee Limit Field in Employee Deductions will need to be increased to include the Amount of the Prior Garnishment and the Current Amount, so the total of the two when the Limit is Inception. The other option is use a new Deduction Code that the employee has not had before for a Garnishment so there is no prior amount counting toward the limit.Â
