What does the Wage Garnishment Law prohibit?

Employers from lowering salaries
Employers from firing an employee whose pay is garnished for a single debt
Employees from working overtime
Employers from asking for pay raises

The correct answer is: Employers from firing an employee whose pay is garnished for a single debt

The Wage Garnishment Law is designed to protect employees from losing their jobs or facing retaliation due to a garnishment of their wages. Specifically, it prohibits employers from terminating an employee because of a single garnishment order for a debt. This protection is in place to ensure that employees do not suffer additional hardships related to their employment status due to financial difficulties that may result in wage garnishment. The other choices do not relate directly to the provisions of the Wage Garnishment Law. For instance, lowering salaries or asking for pay raises are generally within the employer’s discretion and are not specifically addressed by this law. Additionally, while employees may work overtime, the regulation does not restrict overtime work in relation to wage garnishment practices. The focus of the law is primarily on protecting employees from losing their jobs due to wage-related legal actions.
