Overview:

The information provided in this program will help the attendee accurately and completely process Child Support garnishment orders through the payroll department in compliance with federal and state requirements and regulations.

We will also examine specific issues such as what to do if there is more than one withholding order and which order has priority? What if there is not enough money to comply with the order? What do I do with the arrears?

Why you should attend: Dealing with child support garnishments is often one of the most complex duties and responsibilities required in the payroll department. Multiple authorities, competing interests, and complicated regulations can make proper compliance with the orders extremely difficult. Not only are there severe penalties for violations of compliance rules, making sure that they are handled correctly can help relieve the emotional pressure that can surround individual orders. The reality is that all of the people and entities involved in these situations expect action from the payroll department. Precise and accurate compliance with child support garnishment regulation can help to reduce or eliminate the emotional and financial toll that can result from these unfortunate situations. And it is up to the payroll department to catch and correct any errors that have been made by anyone along the way!
