Duties of employers

When the wages or salary of a debtor have been garnished, the enforcement authority sends a withholding notice to the payer of the wages or salary. The payer of the wages must in connection to every payment period immediately and without any fees withhold the garnished amount from the wages or salary of the debtor and to remit it to the enforcement authority. The deposit fee may be deducted from the amount.

Failure to comply may result in the bailiff collecting the unremitted amount from the payer.
