If an employee is fired due to a garnishment, who must they notify, and within how many days?

  1. Employer ... 30 days

  2. Employer ... 60 days

  3. Labor Commissioner ... 30 days

  4. Labor Commissioner ... 60 days

The correct answer is: Employer ... 30 days

When an employee is terminated due to a garnishment, the law stipulates that it is essential for them to notify their employer within a specific timeframe. Notifying the employer promptly allows for appropriate documentation and ensures compliance with any relevant employment and wage deduction laws. In this case, the correct answer involves the requirement to inform the employer of the garnishment-related termination within 30 days. This timely communication is crucial, as it may impact how the employer handles payroll and final paychecks, ensuring that all parties adhere to legal obligations regarding garnishments and terminations. The distinction between the options is significant, as waiting longer than 30 days could potentially lead to complications regarding the employee's rights and the employer's responsibilities.
