    Is there still a huge fine or jail as punishment if you fail to submit a payment of a garnishee?
    I don't mean refusing to comply, but if for some reason you omit a payment or two?

      Cash or into a bank account?

      I only have one abject failure - ironically one of the highest paid members of staff
      Its funny you say that. Some of my worst cases of always asking for loans are my highest paid guys.

      I have a 50-50 split in staff in terms of monthly and weekly payments.
      Almost all the time its an EFT. I'm just not interested in handling cash.

        I haven't heard of anything like that before. My understanding is that the debt (the unpaid garnishee amounts) simply becomes that of the employer and so they then get lumped with the letters of demand, interest fees, penalty fees, legal fees .... etc.

          You are entitled to charge your employee service fees to service the garnishee, as this is a pain in the but, especially if you are a SME, but you do not want to burden the employee any further than what is necessary.

            We're actually both pretty thrifty. Comes from our rather broke patch - neither of us want to go through that again

            It'd be contempt of court, surely

            And if you deducted from the employeee and failed to pay over, fraud
