How does the wage order work?
The wage order pulls your Trustee payment directly from your paycheck. You need to remember that payment due date are not adjusted due to a wage order. Under a wage order, if you see that payments are not coming out of your paycheck, you must mail them in yourself. If the Trustee withholds part of your payment prior to the payment due date, it is your responsibility to mail in the other part of the payment. Remember, under a wage order you are always paying early, never late. By the due date, the Trustee should have withheld enough to make the full payment. If enough has not been withheld, it is your responsibility to send in the difference. It is also your responsibility to make sure that your employer is making the payments even while you are under the wage order.
