This is no small indiscretion! It is a big time problem and likely criminal.

While there may well be actions you could take on your own, my experience has been that something like this can be messy in the extrordinary. And frankly, regardless of legal protections, you probably don't want to be the known as the whistleblower - as it will likely make continued work, and certainly any real future, very difficult. New employers aren't wild about whistleblowers either...and it has the habit of somehow getting around.

However, no question this is something you need to act on. It may be reasonable to find an employment lawyer in your area who is interested. (They frequently come in 2 varities...ones that specialize in handling the Cos side and ones that handle the employee cases). Any should be interested, and if whzt your saying is true, will probably be able to assure that you won't be charged for his actions, and as he may well be able to end up representing the entire employee group...looks at it as a decent fee opportunity. He should be able to make sure ducks are in order, and perhaps keep you unnamed, and getting the many auhtorities involved to fix it.

How do you get garnished wages back from employer after you file bankruptcy?

It's not going to happen. You owed money and that creditor went to court to get your employer to deduct what you owed them from your paycheck and send it to them. Your employer does not owe you a dime. They followed a court order. They had no choice. You went bankrupt AFTER the garnishment, so anything paid BEFORE the bankruptcy is water under the bridge. You cannot "get money back" on something that was paid before the bankruptcy. Since you went bankrupt, the garnishment should stop but you will not get any money "back".

What is the percentage of tax taken out of a paycheck in Pennsylvania?

The employer will take out the SSIC, Federal Income Tax and State Income Tax and perhaps city taxes. The amounts are going to depend on what tax bracket you are in. It can vary a great deal based on the amount you make and how you fill out the withholding forms. You should get this information from your employer payroll department as they will be the one that would know how much FICA, federal income tax, state income, local taxes, etc that they will have to withhold from your hourly pay or gross pay for the pay period. After the withheld amount for all taxes is subtracted from your gross wages (earned income) your paycheck will be issued for the net amount of your earning (wages).
