Wage garnishment is a legal procedure in which a person's earnings are required by court order to be withheld by an employer for the payment of a debt, such as child support. Title III of the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA) prohibits an employer from discharging an employee whose earnings have been subject to garnishment for any one debt, regardless of the number of levies made or proceedings brought to collect it.

"When someone's wages are held, by law, for whatever reason. When this happens, no employer may discharge an employee, regardless of the severity or number of levies incurred to collect a debt. I have experience explaining the garnishment to employees and processing those withholdings on the backend."
