[QUOTE="Kae3106, post: 1211717, member: 27557"] Yes, the wage attachment/garnishment department turns a profit. Each state sets the rules for the administrative fee that an employer is allowed to charge for processing attachments, withholding the money each pay period, and remitting the funds to the state/court/etc. UPS complies with these state laws...they don't just make up a number. The thing is, the state usually sets them up as "per payment" so an employee who gets paid weekly will end up paying quite a bit more in fees than an employee who is paid monthly just based on the number of checks per year. The fees go to cover the salaries of the employees in the garnishment department as well as the cost of printing and mailing the checks for the places that still want checks. Most of the states have now gone electronic for child support so there isn't much cost associated with them once they are set up in the system. Most of the states also require child support to be withheld by the employers and remitted directly to the state for distribution so they can track who is paying and who isn't. If you think the fees are excessive, you can contact the garnishment department directly to ask them to check to make sure you are set up correctly. (PM me if you need the number) [/QUOTE]
