While garnishments are a fact of life in any payroll department, the proper handling and processing of garnishments remains one of the most difficult and complex tasks of today’s payroll manager.

From receipt, to notification and processing, there are questions, time constraints and state and federal regulations you must abide by, lest you face steep fines. But the process is usually complicated, if not downright confusing: you may encounter conflicting entities, uncertainty on how to prioritize multiple garnishments and even federal and state compliance requirements that are not in agreement.

And, 2010 adds yet another wrinkle—state and local governments that are way behind on tax revenues are now chasing delinquent tax dollars like never before.
