According to labor laws, what must an employer do if they employ workers in a garnishment condition?

  1. Increase their pay

  2. Fire the employee

  3. Continue to pay wages

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Continue to pay wages

When an employer has employees whose wages are subject to garnishment, labor laws require that the employer continues to pay wages to these workers. Garnishment is a legal procedure that allows a portion of an employee's earnings to be withheld to satisfy debts, such as child support or tax obligations. The employer is obligated to adhere to the legal requirements regarding the garnishment, which typically means they must withhold only the legally specified amount from the employee's paycheck, but they cannot fire or terminate the employee due to the garnishment itself. In addition, failing to continue paying wages or mismanaging the garnishment process could lead to legal consequences for the employer. Thus, continuing to pay wages while adhering to the garnishment order is the proper course of action dictated by labor laws.
