Wage garnishment on waiters
I had read interesting real life experience on one of the forums discussing the wage garnishment problems. The writer was a harassed woman. She had taken a divorcee from he husband. There was a child and spouse support order on this man. He was determined to harass his wife. All that he did was to take a job of the waiter. Well, he saw to it that he is just on the border of the minimum wages. The effect was that there was no disposable income in his job officially. This in turn meant that he could avoid the payment for the family support. How could he afford to live his livelihood on the minimum wages? The answer is simple; he was surviving on his fat tips income. He knew that the tips income is an income like gratuity that can not be attached by the wage garnishment act. The story is real. If you have the knowledge as your weapon, you can do so many things! Though the use of knowledge for such purpose is unethical, it is obvious that the knowledge is the factor that makes all the difference in your life. It is a fact that the tips received by the waiters can not be with hold by the employers for the purpose for the wage garnishment act. But the fact remains that the under the disguise of the wage garnishment act many employers do with held the tips income of the waiters. Why this type of illegal acts is possible? The ignorance of the waiters is the chief cause in all this. The wage garnishment act is applicable to the employer also. If the employer does not obey the wage garnishment act then he can be punished by up to one year of imprisonment and a fine of one thousand dollars. This is a big deterrent for the employers. The waiters are not aware of this provision. They do not understand they can get the job protection too under this wag garnishment act. This should make it possible for them to stop the employers from doing the illegal acts like with holding the tips income earned by the waiters. The internet is the medium which can give you all the info and education that you require about the wage garnishment act. There are government web sites to guide you. There are forums where you can ask your doubts about the wage garnishment act in an anonymous manner. There are web sites giving you the advice regarding your wage garnishment problems. Get all the info. Get educated about the wage garnishment act. The employer will not be in position to cheat you any more regarding your wage garnishment on waiters.
