POLICY #: [Insert Number]
EFFECTIVE DATE:[Insert Date]
PERTAINS TO:All Employees
With regards to wage garnishment, [Company Name] complies with any and all court orders, the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA), and any other applicable laws.
Upon receiving a court order, [Company Name] will notify the employee immediately and begin withholding wages.We will give the employee information on how s/he can protest the garnishment in court.
In compliance with the CCPA, [Company Name] will not terminate any employees who have been subject to garnishment for one creditor. In the case of employees who are subject to garnishments from more than one creditor or more than one judgment from the same creditor, [Company Name] reserves the right to continue or terminate the employee´s employment as we see fit (in compliance with CCPA).
In addition, the CCPA protects employees from termination related to wage garnishments due to child support, regardless of the number of garnishments.
The CCPA´s anti-retribution statutes do not, however, prohibit firing for just cause.
