In Hawaii, wage garnishment is governed by state law, which allows creditors to garnish wages for various debts, including unpaid taxes, child support, and certain types of loans. The maximum amount that can be garnished is 25% of an employee's disposable earnings or the amount by which weekly earnings exceed 40 times the minimum wage, whichever is less. Creditors must obtain a court order to initiate garnishment, and employers are required to comply with the order. Employees have the right to contest the garnishment and seek exemptions based on financial hardship.
