As an employer, you are legally required to deduct and send support payments to us.

The Support Deduction Notice that we send you explains step by step how to calculate the amount to deduct.

Here are some additional points to keep in mind:

• A person may have more than one support deduction notice. Regardless of the number, you may only deduct a maximum of 50% of the employee's net income at any given time.
• The following are considered part of an employee's regular income. Include these when you are calculating an employee's net income.
• vacation pay
• bonuses, and
• commissions.

• Do not include the following when calculating an employee's net income:
• tips, and
• reimbursed expenses (for example, travel expenses).

• Support Deduction Notices take priority over most other debt, regardless of when the other garnishment was issued. An exception is a federal garnishment.
  
• If the employee or the employee's lawyer disagrees with the amount of support you are deducting, tell them to contact our office at 1-800-267-4330.
• Do not take your instructions from the employee or the employee's lawyer.
• Continue to deduct and send support payments to us until we notify you to stop.
• If there are any changes to be made to an employee's support deductions, we will send you the new Support Deduction Notice.
• If you have questions, call our Employer Hot Line. You'll find the number at the top of the Support Deduction Notice.
