Managing Garnishments, Liens and Levies
Duration: 90 minutes
Speaker: David Sanders
Webinar Description
Payroll departments are being hit with more and more regulations and keeping up with wage garnishment laws can be overwhelming. Have you ever felt lost or confused when you received a garnishment, lien, levy or multiple orders?
It is important to know that if the payroll department does not follow certain procedures and withhold the correct amount that your company or you personally could be liable for the amount of the garnishment. Additionally, your company could wind up paying the garnishment andreimbursing the employee for the amount incorrectly withheld.
Did you know that employers are still the responsible party even if that company outsourced its payroll and related tax duties to a third-party payroll service provider that miscalculated the garnishment amount? Do not believe the myth "My company is not liable."
This webinar will help you understand the correct process, the different types of garnishments, liens and levies and how they may be presented to your company.
