Garnishment Processing
Wage garnishment is the process of deducting money from an employee's monetary compensation (i.e., salary) as a result of
a court order. In some cases, your office may receive garnishment checks from various employers on a to satisfy these financial
obligations, or judgments. Each check includes payments that must be credited to one or more cases for one or more employees.
One receipt is generated per employer, regardless of the number of cases to which payments are applied.
If you have the appropriate rights, the Garnishment Processing page allows you to pay amounts toward specific types of judgments and sentences, to define overpayment recipients, and to
specify if a receipt should be printed after posting the garnishment transaction.
