(CA) Add a garnishment to a company/employee profile

Wagepoint is able to take garnishment deductions from employee net pay when you receive a court order or judgment from a third party.

Add the Garnishment deduction at the Company level

1. Navigate to Company > Deduction Types > click "Add a Deduction".
2. Select "Garnishment" from the "Deduction Type" drop-down.
3. Enter your own description and click "Save".

Add the Garnishment deduction to the employee profile

1. Navigate to "Employees" and select the employee you want to add this to.
2. Go to the "Deductions" tab and click "Add Deduction".
3. Select the garnishment code from the deduction type drop-down.
4. Populate the following fields based on the details in the garnishment letter:
   • EmployEE pays - either dollar figure or percentage of net pay required to be deducted.
   • Max Limit - the total balance of the garnishment amount to be taken.
   • Beginning Balance - any amount already paid by the employee towards the garnishment.
   • Exemption - either dollar figure or percentage of the net pay that the garnishment calculation would not apply to.

Please note: Wagepoint does not collect the garnishment from the company bank account and remit it to the third party. We only deduct the garnishment from the employee's pay. The money stays in the company bank account and needs to be remitted to the third party from your end.
