New hire reporting laws applicable to all US businesses have one goal in mind – to quickly identify where parents who owe child support are employed. In some states, it applies to independent contractors as well. Businesses can expect wage garnishments on some of these individuals shortly after these reports are filed. Of course, garnishments are also filed against workers who owe taxing agencies or other creditors as well.

Learning Objectives:-

• Best practices for processing garnishments.
• Federal law regarding garnishments.
• Special section on state laws – all 50 states!
• How to calculate amounts to be withheld with numerical examples.
• Legislative updates on all topics.

Why Should You Attend:-

A recent study finds that 7.2 percent of the nation's employees have had their wages garnished. Over 40 per cent of those garnishments were for child support, while tax debts accounted for close to 20 per cent. The total number of garnishments boomed by well over 100% in a 10-year span. The same study concluded that employers are better off helping workers resolve debts and manage garnishments. If not done correctly 

In addition to Garnishments, payroll departments, and managers can receive subpoena summonses and other legal orders. Do you know how to identify them and what to do? They don’t have to be about a worker, they can be about your company, and even YOU. An employee’s debt can become your debt.
