My manager wants me to begin deducting an 'admin fee' for garnishments, and it is unclear to me whether to deduct the allotted amount for where our buisness is located or deduct according to the originating states' regulations.

Can you tell me where I can find the federal regulation regarding wage garnishments and charging the employee for processing fees?

Wage Garnishments: If a company has to pay extra fees to an account for them to process wage garnishments can the employeer charge part of that back to the employee with the wage garnishement. And is that diffrent from state to state?

An employee has not informed us that she may be subject to garnishment. Should we confront the employee before garnishments are made or should we just deduct the garnishments without notice to the employee?

I have a client that has rules stating they will terminate an employee if they have more than two (2) garnishments, and they are warned verbally, then written, with last steps termination. Do you have any informaiton on this?
