Wage garnishment

Wage garnishment is a legal process where a bailiff pays part of the salary or salary of a debtor directly into mash takes to collect a debt. This may relate to the net salary, vacation pay, end-of-year bonus and other wage components.

The employer withholds the amount seized and transfers it directly to the bailiff until all debts have been repaid in full. The law provides for a seizure free payment, so that the debtor has sufficient income to support himself.
