Here at AccuChex, we hear a lot of clients expressing the aggravation of having to deal with employee’s child support and garnishment checks. As an employer, if the state sends you a letter telling you to garnish an employee’s wages for whatever reason and you do not comply properly, you can be liable for the money not paid as well as your employee. Have no worries though, because the AccuChex team are professionals when it comes to handling your 3^rd party checks headache.

3^rd party checks can be a number of things such as child support, tax levies, student loans, etc. As an employer, you may receive a document from the state to start pulling $38.15 on John Smith for child support. All you have to do is send that form over to us. We automatically deduct $38.15 from John Smith’s check every week and print a check to whatever county he has to pay the child support, such as Melanie Huggins, the clerk of court for Horry County. On that check is John Smith’s case number so that there is no confusion once it arrives at the clerk of court’s office. Once the check is printed, we can either attach it with your payroll for you to mail out, or we can mail it right from our office. After you send us the form, you never have to hassle with it again.

We can also pay your garnishments electronically. For example, the state of Texas now requires that child support to that state be paid by electronic ACH payments. That is no problem for us here at AccuChex. We can also set up goal amounts for your employees. Say that not only does John Smith have to pay child support; he also has a student loan that he has to pay back that is $5,000. His lending institution is requiring him to pay $50 a week until it is paid off. Under John Smith, we can set his deductions up so that each week $50 is taken off of his goal amount of $5000 and that check for $50 to the lending institution is printed and sent to the employer or directly to the lending institution. Once $5000 is reached, the deduction automatically stops coming out of his check. This saves the employer and the employee the hassle of trying to remember how much John still owes.
