A Practice Note discussing wage garnishment under Title III of the federal Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA), including administration of the CCPA by the Department of Labor's (DOL) Wage and Hour Division (WHD), limits on the amount of an individual's disposable earnings that may be garnished, and restrictions on an employer's ability to terminate employees because of wage garnishment. This Note focuses on the CCPA but may also be useful to employers handling wage garnishment governed by other federal statutes or by state or local law.
