Reply #30: The company I work for HATES them

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

The rules in California for employers who are ordered to garnish an employees wages are absurd, the two individuals we had to garnish had also been completely fucked over by their worthless ex-wives - both of whom were estranged from the child theoretically being supported, one was even incarcerated in another state. This was of no interest to the great state of California.

"It is illegal not to pay amounts withheld for the Earnings Withholding Order to the levying officer. Your duty is to pay the money to the levying officer who will pay the money in accordance with the laws that apply to this case. If you violate any of these laws, you may be held liable to pay civil damages and you may be subject to criminal prosecution."

Oh yeah, what company doesn't want to deal with that? Especially when various lazy/stupid/indifferent bureaucrats WILL find ways to fuck up you couldn't even imagine that can land YOU in trouble.
