This guy sure has a lot of stuff happen to him that wasn't his fault. Fortunately, the guy doesn't have any enablers.

Before the guy leaves, OC should borrow money from him to pay his traffic ticket. It would be a shame to let an opportunity to turn the tables slip away.

Here what I am doing, I am writing a check or I should say going to the bank for a cashiers check, take it directly to the court, let them send to where ever it needs to go. As far as I am concerned You cannot believe a word that come out of debt collector lawyers mouth!(been there years ago,) When I demanded an accounting, I found where the collection Lawyer had added a bunch of money that was not part of the Judgement, F***ing lying bastards!! I am going to consider it employee compensation. Here is the great news, He has an interview Wednesday for a job that pays $4.20 an hour more than me and has health insurance. Wooo Hooo, I will give him the highest of recommendations!! Here is the best part, He can still work weekends as a sub contractor! Judgments accrue interest. AZ is 4.25%. Prior to 2011, it was 10%. I find it hard to believe an attorney is going to add illegal fees to a judgment that small when it's easy to calculate interest. I'd get disbarred for doing that. I'm not risking my license for piddly amounts.
And why are you requesting an accounting? I'd tell you to pound salt. You're not the creditor.

This was fourteen years ago, when I was dealing with a collection Co. This was when I was recovering from a failed business, this Co,s buy up these loans, pennies on the dollar. This was an American Express card that I could not make the payment. I was sued, went to court, I had to appear in person, But the lawyer was able to present his case over the phone, I thought that was interesting!
I received a judgement against me, I am going to point out That because you are short on money does not mean you are going to screw everyone out of their money!
Everyone, And I mean everyone that I owed money to was eventually paid, This judgement happened to be the last one because of the contemptuous nature of the people I was dealing with!!
Over a period time I had several calls from these people, I looked forward to their calls Any way when we finally got aroud to paying this
I noticed that it was most certainly more money than it should have been, For a first time I called them demanded an accounting, Yep, Creative bookkeeping on their part!!!!
Yes, I now paid the judgement with interest, But not the creative bookkeeping part.
I wonder how many people pay the creative bookkeeping from this law firm without checking what is actually owed?
I did get the pleasure of calling the last person there I spoke to, you are nothing but a common thief, But It was probably an employee rather than the common thief lawyer!
I was told how rude I was,,, Rude that's it? If I even have to talk to these people ever again, I will have to try harder!!

He's not the creditor, agreed. Here's a question though...shouldn't the requirement to start a garnishment be some kind of court order he receives? I haven't been super clear on what he's actually gotten, but it shouldn't just be a letter from a lawyer should it? If it is just a letter from a lawyer that an employer SHOULD get, how does an employer ensure what they're getting is legit?

Whether you think you had the right to be rude or not, at least this was YOUR fight. Assuming some other random lawyer is crooked because he won't give you an accounting of some other party's debt seems like a stretch. Your employee should be able to get an accounting, you have no right to his specifics. All you have a right to know is what a court order/the law is requiring of you as an employer.

Nothing I have said in recent post have anything to do the employee garnishment. This week I will get a cashier check , take it to the court, done. That way I don't have to deal with weekly checks, taking time out of my day. beside that if I take 25% out of the employees check, he won't be able to pay his rent Then he becomes homeless, it is much easier to write a check maybe some day he will pay me back, right now I am considering employee compensation. That said. people do remember your help. twenty years ago I knew a man that was working here illegally, He ask if I had some equipment that he could buy take back to Mexico. I knew he had no spare money. I was sitting on a bunch of equipment, I gave him almost a complete plant of equipment free. He had no place to store until a friend said he could store at his place. But as all good deeds don't go unpunished the friend later had to move out, all of the equipment went to the scrap yard (sigh). The illegal got his papers, worked hard bought a plant then another, Now twenty years later I am installing a major piece of equipment in one of his stores,, He wanted me to do his work because of what I had done twenty years ago! See No good deed goes unpunished!

I wasn't thinking so much "filing a false order" as I was thinking that if this were just a letter as it sounded...how you'd tell the difference between a letter that was a court ordered garnishment...and some bill collector saying "give me money". My assumption was that there had to be something that basically said "the court agrees you owe this money, a garnishment is fine to implement". Or, alternatively, how you'd distinguish a "false order" done up by Joe Smith (non attorney scamster) trying to scam some money, if it was just some random letter.

If it is just a letter from a lawyer that an employer SHOULD get, how does an employer ensure what they're getting is legit? I'm sure the laws vary from state to state - at least according to what Swamp is saying. Here, you are right. All garnishment orders are signed by a judge. The paperwork goes to the sheriff and it's that office's duty to serve them to the place of employment where the garnishee (?) receives his salary. That paperwork contains a copy of the court order.
OC...you are a good guy to try to help this man. I'm guessing that since you've "been there" yourself, it hits a spot in your heart. At some point, you are going to have to cut your losses on this one. You are throwing more good money after bad. I don't blame you for checking into the authenticity of this business. I don't even what to know what would happen if you took an employee's money and sent it somewhere else without proper documentation.
But? After you find out it's valid, pay the garnishment as scheduled. I understand you are saying that taking part of his check is going to cause more hardship for him. He isn't learning a lesson if you take care of all his problems for him. You keep telling him "this is it" and he's phoning you the next day for $50.00. He obviously doesn't think you are serious (and it appears you aren't). He's not going to take steps to improve his lot as long as you keep pulling him in a wagon.

For crying out loud see a lawyer and fire this loser before he costs you more money and more hassle. Freaking driving him to work, what are you thinking? No one is irreplaceable.

Would you use his servcices as a subcontractor? Yes, As a subcontractor I will pay him thirty $ an hour. I think this is one of the most bizarre threads I have ever read. You must love misery, because you keep signing up for more.

So are you making him a subcontractor thinking that will keep you from having to deal with garnishments in the future? I am not a labor or legal expert but if you're still signing his checks I'm pretty sure you will still be expected to handle any future garnishments. Which there will most likely be. Based on your previous threads about this guy this is not a "one and done" type moment by a long shot.

If the job is worth $30/hr, there should be any number of baggage-free people willing to do it. Correct me if my impression is wrong, but it doesn't seem that the problem employee comes with any particularly rare skills. Surely there are other people who can do the job without the drama the problem employee brings. I would try to find one of those people. JMHO. YMMV.

Here what I am doing, I am writing a check or I should say going to the bank for a cashiers check, take it directly to the court, let them send to where ever it needs to go. As far as I am concerned You cannot believe a word that come out of debt collector lawyers mouth!(been there years ago,) When I demanded an accounting, I found where the collection Lawyer had added a bunch of money that was not part of the Judgement, F***ing lying bastards!! I am going to consider it employee compensation. Here is the great news, He has an interview Wednesday for a job that pays $4.20 an hour more than me and has health insurance. Wooo Hooo, I will give him the highest of recommendations!! Here is the best part, He can still work weekends as a sub contractor! If you withheld it out of his pay it isn't employee compensation.
If you are just writing a check out of company funds to pay it and be done with it that is another story.
Are you considering it a loan? That doesn't make it employee compensation either.
And someone can correct me on this since ages dealing with payroll but won't you have to add this amount to his W-2 or issue him a 1099 if you call it employee compensation?

The smart way to do this would be to grovel to the courts to forgive you for not reading the letter sooner and then comply with the order.
Trying to turn him into a subcontractor, trying to write checks to settle the account yourself just seems to be piling it higher and deeper. Trying to pull one over on the court system rarely works out well for the person trying to do the screwing. Evidence is right in front of you in the form of this guy's wage garnishment.
This employee must shit gold for you to want to jump thru all these hoops.

Here what I am doing, I am writing a check or I should say going to the bank for a cashiers check, take it directly to the court, let them send to where ever it needs to go. As far as I am concerned You cannot believe a word that come out of debt collector lawyers mouth!(been there years ago,) When I demanded an accounting, I found where the collection Lawyer had added a bunch of money that was not part of the Judgement, F***ing lying bastards!! I am going to consider it employee compensation. Here is the great news, He has an interview Wednesday for a job that pays $4.20 an hour more than me and has health insurance. Wooo Hooo, I will give him the highest of recommendations!! Here is the best part, He can still work weekends as a sub contractor! If you withheld it out of his pay it isn't employee compensation.
If you are just writing a check out of company funds to pay it and be done with it that is another story.
Are you considering it a loan? That doesn't make it employee compensation either.
And someone can correct me on this since ages dealing with payroll but won't you have to add this amount to his W-2 or issue him a 1099 if you call it employee compensation?
For your last question, Yes it would increase his W-2 wages.

The smart way to do this would be to grovel to the courts to forgive you for not reading the letter sooner and then comply with the order. Trying to turn him into a subcontractor, trying to write checks to settle the account yourself just seems to be piling it higher and deeper. Trying to pull one over on the court system rarely works out well for the person trying to do the screwing. Evidence is right in front of you in the form of this guy's wage garnishment. This employee must shit gold for you to want to jump thru all these hoops. Or the owner has no head for business.

If the job is worth $30/hr, there should be any number of baggage-free people willing to do it. Correct me if my impression is wrong, but it doesn't seem that the problem employee comes with any particularly rare skills. Surely there are other people who can do the job without the drama the problem employee brings. I would try to find one of those people. JMHO. YMMV.
There tons of regulations and rules that have to be followed, You can't call up the labor pool have some one sent over, I pay some of my other sub contractors $50 an hour. The employee got the job, It pays more, tons of benefits!

LOL, No head for business, I worked by myself yesterday, I netted a little over a thousand $! Making money is easy. I helped a lot of people, which is the most important part.
