How does the employer respond if it receives multiple garnishments from the Department of Revenue for the same employee?
The employer must withhold 10% of the monthly gross salaries and wages due to the employee and remit it to the State. The employer should pay out the oldest garnishment prior to moving to the next period. The Department will send a garnishment release letter to the employer once the final payment for the oldest garnishment has posted. Upon receiving a release letter for an older Department of Revenue garnishment, the employer should begin withholding for the next Department of Revenue garnishment.
