Child Support Garnishments
Child support garnishments are court orders for an employer to withhold a portion of an employee's wages to fulfill child support obligations.
On pay stubs, child support garnishments are recorded as a deduction from the employee's wages. The pay stub will typically list the amount withheld for child support, along with other deductions such as taxes. This information ensures transparency and compliance with court-ordered obligations, helping to ensure that the required child support payments are made consistently and accurately.
Even though the system calculates these child support deductions, it is the employer’s responsibility to pay the garnishments directly to the state/federal agency.
To set up a child support garnishment for an employee, create a support ticket.
