Indiana garnishment law:
15. Indiana Wage Garnishment
The maximum part of an individual's aggregate disposable earnings for the workweek that is subject to garnishment in Indiana is the lesser of:
1. 25% of the disposable earnings; or
2. The amount of the disposable earnings that exceed 30 times the federal minimum hourly wage.
Note: A wage garnishment can be obtained after interrogatories are served and completed and after a motion for proceeding supplemental is heard. Garnishments filed in up Claims Court cases require a filing fee of approximately $15.00. Indiana now recognizes Voluntary Wage Assignments, which are to be signed by the debtor and the creditor, or the creditor's attorney, and submitted to the employer.
If you signed a wage assignment then they can take the amount. I would revoke all ACH transactions and wage assigments with the company.

Make sure you send them a wage revocation letter to be on the safe side, give a copy to your employer.
