Question: A law firm just served our company with an enforcement order. Since this employee already had a protected account set up during the hiring process—meaning the IRS was already handling the garnishment—we’ve just been following protocol by depositing 2/3 of their funds into the protected account and the remaining 1/3 into their regular one. We don't actually know the total debt amount or even who the creditor is... that's really not our business. We sent the enforcement order back to the law firm and advised them to submit everything directly to the IRS instead, but they shot us a reply threatening to sue us as a legal entity if we don't disclose the payment priority order. I can't help but feel it would be much simpler if they just dealt with the IRS directly... or maybe I'm missing something?

Does that mean we could hand out cash to people with frozen bank accounts while letting everyone else run their errands normally? How would you even justify that later on... especially since it would be pretty obvious the whole goal was just to dodge the garnishments...

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone here knows for sure whether a Christmas bonus is fully subject to garnishment? My company just released our holiday bonuses, and since the entire amount hit my regular checking account, it was all immediately seized by the collectors... any insight would be appreciated
