                           COMPENSATION                                            REVISED DATE:
RULE 306.        GARNISHMENT


A.     WAGE GARNISHMENT:

        1.    For non-payment of personal debts, federal law stipulates that the sum that may be garnished is 
                the lesser amount computed by the two (2) following methods:

                a.    Twenty-five percent (25%) of the individual's disposable earnings for the workweek; or

                b.    The amount by which disposable earnings for that week exceeds thirty (30) times the 
                       minimum wage under Section 6,A,(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938 
                       (29 U.S.C. 206 [a,1]).

        2.    For non-payment of federal or state taxes (levy), child or other court ordered support payments, 
                and/or payments ordered by the bankruptcy court, the employee's entire earned wage can be 
                garnished until the debt is satisfied.

        3.    The law prohibits an employer from discharging any employee because his/her earnings have been 
                subjected to garnishment for any one indebtedness. The term "one indebtedness" refers to a single 
                debt regardless of the number of levies made or creditors seeking satisfaction. Whoever willfully 
                violates the discharge provisions of this law may be prosecuted criminally and fined up to $1,000, 
                or imprisoned for not more than one (1) year, or both.

        4.    A service charge will be assessed by the County for processing the garnishment.

B.    WAGE ASSIGNMENT: An employee cannot make an assignment of future wages not yet earned 
        (Byers v.s. Comer, 50 Arizona 9, 68-P 2d-671).
