(A) The county encourages its employees to manage their financial affairs responsibly. A wage garnishment against a county employee reflects poorly upon the employee and imposes administrative expenses on the county.
(B) Employees whose wages are garnished should discuss the matter with their department head/elected official and arrange to pay off the judgment as soon as possible.
(C) As determined by state law, the county will not discipline any employee whose earnings have been subject to garnishment in connection with any one judgment. UCA § 70c-7-104 (1953, as amended). However, the county may take disciplinary action if an employee is subject to garnishment for more than one judgment.
(D) The county may charge the employee an administrative fee for processing a garnishment action.
