[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1217514, member: 14668"] That was never my point. I was merely questioning the ethics of UPS arbitrarily charging the maximum amount allowable according to state law [I]regardless of the actual costs incurred[/I]. My wife is the finance and Human Resources manager for a local company. She is personally and directly responsible for handling all garnishments and payroll issues. I asked her about this very question and according to her, some garnishments are indeed complex and time-consuming. Others are simple and routine, and once they are set up the money is deducted automatically with no additional time or effort on her part. In [I]no[/I] case that she deals with would it be appropriate or fair to charge an employee $20-$25 per month in fees. The [I]ethical[/I] thing for UPS to do....would be to at least [I]work with[/I] the affected employees to minimize the amount of time and effort required (and fees charged) to process these garnishments. [B]Arbitrarily charging a PT employee the maximum $5 per week allowed by law [I]without offering him any recourse whatsoever[/I] is not an ethical business practice.[/B] [/QUOTE]
