Payroll professionalsare acutely aware of the rules for deducting and remitting amounts for C/QPP, EI and income tax. One deduction that may not be as well-known is the one for enforcing family or child support orders.
Each province and territory in Canada has enacted legislation governing the enforcement of support orders, including a requirement for employers to garnish an employee’s wages where necessary.
