In most cases an employer has to have a court order indicating whom is collecting and for what amount. The IRS is the only entity I know of that can force the garnishment of wages without a court order. The employer cannot garnish wages just because it wants to without warrant. If you owe the employer money, they would need to take all legal proceedings against you through the court systems. Department education, ssa, and other government entities can issue a wage garnishment w/out a court order. The government doesn't need to ask it's self for permission to get it's money back.

Unless you are referring to tax obligations or child support payments owed to the state, or overpayments of salaries or benefits paid by the state, they can't. Only courts (with the noted exceptions) can issue garnishment notices or liens.

Yes, if they file suit and are awarded a judgment they can execute the judgment as a wage garnishment. Garnishments must run consecutively they cannot run concurrently. The exception is that a creditor garnishment can be active even though a child support garnishment may be in affect.

Only some creditors can garnish wages without a court order. These include the IRS, student loan companies, or child support.

If your car is repossessed and your wages are garnished can the company you work for fire you?

Yes, you can be terminated from a job for any justifiable reason. The repossession and garnishment are YOUR problems, not your employer's. * No, it is illegal for an employer to fire an employee because of his or her wages being garnished. Unfortunately, it is usually not difficult for an employer to come up with a plausible reason to discharge an employee in order to circumvent discriminatory practice laws.


Can an employee terminate your employment for a criminal background check that was done after being employed for 18 months and attending school there especially if they knew when they hired you?

It depends on the state law or statute where the employment occurs. For example, in Texas, the law is wide open for employers, in that an employer needs no more reason to terminate an employee than that they want to. In other words, in Texas, an employer does not need any reason to terminate you. Of course it is a two-way street, in that an employee is free to leave at any time, for cause, or just because he wants to. This may not be true in the state where you are employed.
