earnings on any amounts required by law to be withheld, which is subjected to garnishment may not exceed (a) twenty-five per
centum, or, (b) the amount by which the individual’s aggregate earnings for that week, after the deduction from those earnings of any
amounts required to be withheld by law, exceed thirty times the federal minimum hourly wage prescribed by section 6(a)(1) of the
Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 in effect at the time of the earnings are payable, or (c) if the employee is the head of a family and a

For pay periods longer than one week, the provisions of subsection 2(a) and (c) of this section shall apply to the maximum
earnings subjected to garnishment for all workweeks compensated, and under subsection 2(b) of this section, the “multiple” of the
federal minimum hourly wage equivalent to that applicable to the earnings subject to garnishment for one week shall be represented

purpose of this formula, a calendar month shall be construed to consist of 4 1/3 workweeks, a semimonthly period to consist of 2 1/6
weeks. The “multiple” for any pay period longer than one week shall be computed in a manner consistent herewith. The restrictions
on the maximum amount of earnings subjected to garnishment shall also be applicable to all proceedings involving the sequestration
of wages of employees of all political subdivisions.
The term “earnings” as used herein means compensation paid or payable for personal services, whether denominated as wages,
salary, commission, bonus, or otherwise, and includes periodic payments pursuant to a pension or retirement program.
5. No employer may discharge any employee by reason of the fact that the employee’s earnings have been subjected to
garnishment or sequestration for any one indebtedness.
6. Whoever willfully violates the provisions of subsection 5 of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor.
15 U.S.C. 1672 Restrictions on Garnishment – Definitions

whether denominated as wages, salary, commission, bonus, or otherwise, and includes periodic payments pursuant to a pension or
retirement program. (b)The term “disposable earnings” means that part of the earnings of any individual remaining after the deduction
from those earnings of any amounts required by law to be withheld. (c) The term “garnishment” means any legal or equitable
procedure through which the earnings of any individual are required to be withheld for payment of any debt.
15 U.S.C. 1673 Restrictions on Garnishment – Maximum Allowable Garnishment
(b)(2) The maximum part of the aggregate disposable earnings of an individual for any workweek which is subject to garnishment
to enforce any order for the support of any person shall not exceed –
(A) where such individual is supporting his spouse or dependent child (other than a spouse or child with respect to whose support
such order is used), 50 per centum of such individual’s disposable earnings for that week; and
(B) where such individual is not supporting a spouse or dependent child described in clause (A), 60 per centum of such individual’s
disposable earnings for that week; except that, with respect to the disposable earnings of any individual for any workweek, the 50 per
centum specified in clause (A) shall be deemed to be 55 per centum and the 60 per centum specified in clause (B) shall be deemed to
be 65 per centum, if and to the extent that such earnings are subject to garnishment to enforce a support order with respect to a period
