You're crying about paying $5 to send a $60 check. Why don't you ask us hard working Americans how we feel about sending her OUR hard earned money so she can do nothing.

You picked a winner..... I had requirements before I got married one was for her to have a good job and be independently self supporting. The $60 you pay a week won't put healthy food on the table not to mention a roof over your child's head or clothes on his/ her back. Get another job.
UPS is charging me 5 dollars a week to send my child support to health and welfare. I believe that ups is making a profit off of this.
I have to disagree ... $5 a week is not even a huge profit for a homeless person.
I know that technology based automation has reduced costs a lot but the cost of setting this up, the EFT cost, the audit costs and the time to deal with you complaining about $5 per week probably comes to more than $260 per year.
Its funny how the company is claiming that it costs them $5 a week to electronically transfer $260 per month for the guy's state required child support garnishment, yet for some reason they dont do the same thing for a voluntary United Way payroll deduction.
I don't find it funny but logical.
One is part of a PR strategy that produces a lot of goodwill. The other is something that UPS has to do because some pencil-headed government prick sitting in a cube says to do it. I'm sure UPS would rather not have anything to do with child support payments of one of it's employees.

Can't believe you guys are harassing him about this thread. He obviously doesn't make 30 an hour so 5 is a substantial amount to him
The OP is a part-time employee who is being forced to pay the company $5 per week in order to comply with a state-required child support garnishment of $260 per month to an ex wife/partner who is on food stamps. Thats something in the ballpark of 8% in "administrative costs" for an automatic payroll deduction that should be going to the child instead of the company. I dont blame him for being pissed, $20 a month/$260 per year is a pretty substantial sum of money for a low income worker trying to support a child. The company does not charge a similar fee for voluntary United Way deductions, voluntary 401K constributions or voluntary changes in W-2 witholding, but for some strange reason it does charge those who legally have no choice but to have their child support automatically deducted.
If it truly does cost the company $5 per week for an automatic payroll deduction, then wouldnt the company be better off encouraging its employees to donate directly to United Way? Imagine how much more UPS could donate if it were not saddled with the costly administrative burden of processing every one of the $2 or $5 or $10 weekly donations that it goes to such great lengths to solicit from each and every one of its 250,000+ employees nationwide.
The OP could easily stop the $5 per week ripoff by marrying the chick.
