Can an employer force you to use your vacation pay for workman's comp?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That would probably depend on your employer. It should not however, reduce your WCI, benefit.

AnswerI'm not really sure why you would want to use your available vacation pay hours, if the carrier/adjuster is indeed paying you TTD (Temporary Total Disability) or PPD (Permanent Partial Disability)????

It's usually the other way around; people are fighting to NOT HAVE to use vacation pay or sick pay or some benefit other than temporary total disability, which is available under Workers' Compensation provisions.

still yes with no problems!

Can an employer refuse to hire someone with wage garnishments?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

From U.S. Department of Labor website:

The wage garnishment provisions of the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA) protect employees from discharge by their employers because their wages have been garnished for any one debt, and it limits the amount of an employee's earnings that may be garnished in any one week. CCPA also applies to all employers and individuals who receive earnings for personal services (including wages, salaries, commissions, bonuses and income from a pension or retirement program, but ordinarily not including tips).

How to Stop a Garnishment of Wages?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A garnishment of wages is used by creditors, usually as a last resort, to obtain payment for a debt. A garnishment order is issued by the court and generally follows a judgment.

When a debt is not paid by a creditor such as a credit card provider, the debt is usually sold to a collection agency. If the collection agency isn’t able to collect, a lawsuit is filed and can result in a judgment to have wages and property garnished in order to pay off the debt.

A garnishment of wages not only takes a chunk of money directly from the debtor’s paycheck, it can also be an embarrassing matter as the garnishment is forwarded directly to the human resources department of the employer. There are a couple ways you can avoid this embarrassment.

Do Not Ignore the Debt

Sometimes when funds are low and you don’t have the money to make your scheduled payment, it may seem easier and less stressful to ignore it. The problem with avoiding debt is that it will only make things worse. Do not wait until the creditor threatens legal action, and if you do receive a summons or any type of legal notice, call the creditor or attorney immediately.

Set Up a Payment Plan

You will find that many creditors, collection agencies, and law offices that are hired to collect debts, will set up a reasonable payment plan. Figure out an amount that you can pay each month and if possible set up an automatic debit from your bank account. Make sure that you stick to the payment plan and if you foresee problems, contact the creditor and notify them of the problem.

You May Be Exempt from Garnishment

Certain instances render a person exempt from wage garnishment. First of all, the creditor has to allow you enough money to live on. If your primary income is through Social Security or Veteran’s payments, federal law prohibits garnishment of these funds. The creditor cannot garnish a bank account for instance that is funded by Social Security payments.

Contact an Attorney

An attorney may be able to assist you in stopping a garnishment of wages, whether by helping set up a settlement plan with the creditor or notifying the creditor of any exemptions to garnishment that you may qualify for.

The most important part of stopping wage garnishment however is to be active in taking care of the situation. The sooner you attempt to take care of the debt, the less likely you will have to deal with judgments and having a chunk of money taken from your bank account or paycheck.

What is the maximum percentage allowed for wage garnishment in Arkansas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nothing will be withheld from your paycheck because the paycheck is issued to you after all of the necessary taxes have been withheld from your gross earnings (wages).

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 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 issued for the net amount of your earning (wages).

Can short-term disability payments be garnished?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

All Social Security benefits are exempt from garnishment by creditor judgments. Likewise, all military and federal government pensions and public assistance funds.

Private disability such as workman's compensation would be subject to the laws of the state in which the beneficiary resides. Not all U.S. states allow the exemption of private disability and/or pension benefits from creditor garnishment.

Please note, exempted funds such as SS benefits should not be comingled with other income to avoid the seizure by creditor judgment. It is the responsibility of the debtor to present documentation to the court as to the exemption status of specified monies.

What percentage of your wages can a debt collector garnish in the state of Arizona?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The state allows for the maximum federal amount of 25% of disposable income. The court reserves the power to reduce the percentage to a minimum of 15% if the garnishee can provide evidence that a higher rate would constitute an undue hardship upon themselves and/or dependents. (A.R.S. ~12-1598)
