In Michigan, employers are generally required to garnish an employee's paycheck only if they receive a valid court order or a government agency directive, such as for child support or tax debts. However, they cannot garnish wages for personal debts without a court order. Employers must also comply with federal and state laws regarding the maximum amount that can be garnished. It's important for employers to follow proper legal procedures to avoid potential liability.
