Child Support

When an employer receives a child support demand letter, it does not necessarily mean that the employee is delinquent on his / her child support payment. In some cases, to ease collection and assure payment, the court orders this amount to be deducted from the parent through a payroll deduction. However, there are times when a delinquency is noted and back payments are ordered and spread over a certain timeframe for collection. When an employee leaves employment, an employer is further required to file this information with the court in order for it to distribute another notice to the employee’s new employer. New hire filings are necessary for each new employee. This filing assists the state system to track employees and those that are required to pay child support. By utilizing an online payroll company, this step is often taken care of and one less filing for the employer to process.
