To garnishee an employee's paycheck, an employer must first obtain a court order or a legal notice specifying the amount to be withheld. The employer then deducts the specified amount from the employee's wages and remits it directly to the creditor or the designated entity. It’s important for the employer to comply with federal and state laws governing garnishments to ensure the process is carried out legally. Additionally, employers should inform the affected employee about the garnishment as required by law.
