Can the employer deduct a fee from the employee’s wages for processing child support payments that are required by an income withholding order?
If the employee’s principal place of employment is Arizona, the employer may deduct a fee of $1.00 per pay period or $4.00 per month to defray the cost of withholding. If the employee’s principal place of employment is not Arizona, the employer must follow the laws of that state to determine the amount of fee the employer may withhold.
