U.S. Workforce Demands Compliance

What does the current state of the economy have to do with the way you organize your garnishments? Well, as your employees pinch pennies to stay in the black, you'll answer more phone calls, e-mails, and questions than ever before. "How long will my garnishments be in effect?" "Can't you make an exception since my living expenses have gone up?"

Those are but a couple of the many inquiries you can expect. After all, 15% of the American workforce is subject to child support withholding. These extra consultations only make it harder for you to get the answers to your questions as you strive to keep up-to-date on regulatory changes.

APA's one-day garnishment class allows you to implement cost-saving information into your routine the very next day. It's not too late to register for a class coming to a city near you this August. Register now for the Garnishments Forum to learn about the limits on creditor garnishments and the effect of the upcoming minimum wage increase, as well as rules on federal tax levies, child support withholding orders, and student loan garnishments.
