payroll notifcation

Garnishments are court ordered. You cannot revoke a garnishment.

Are you talking about a garnishment or a wage assignment?

It's a wage assignment from paydayavenue, on their letterhead, sorry. Nothing has been ordered against me.

What state are you in?

Ohio

[quote]1321.31 Assignment of personal earnings - limitations - priority.
No assignment of, or order for, wages or salary is valid unless made in writing by the person by whom the said wages or salary are earned and no assignment of, or order for, wages or salary made by a married person is valid unless the written consent of the husband or wife of the person making such assignment or order is attached to such assignment or order. No assignment of or order for, wages or salary of a minor is valid unless the written consent of a parent or the guardian of such minor is attached to such order or assignment. No assignment of, or order for, wages or salary is valid for more than twenty-five per cent of the earnings, wages, or salary of any married person. No such assignment is valid for more than fifty per cent of the earnings, wages, or salary of any unmarried person.

Assignments of wages have priority as to each other from the time they are filed with the employer of the assignor, and the balance due any married person after twenty-five per cent has been so assigned, or due any unmarried person after fifty per cent has been so assigned is not subject to further assignment.

Call your state DFI, and tell them your employer is about to put through a revoked, illegal wage assignment.

Your employer may be liable for any money given to them.

Ohio Division of Financial Institutions (614) 728-8400. They have been very helpful to me. Good luck!

Thank you. I will get on this right away!

I contacted Ohio DFI and was told that since the company operated in Canada, not the US, there was nothing they could do for me.
Any other advice?

I was not aware that Paydayavenue operated in Canada!!!

Please ensure your employer knows the difference between a "wage garnishment" and a "wage assignment". Have you expalined the whole situation to your supervisor informing them of what is goin on? Like others stated you can revoke a "wage assignment" at any time! So your employers will be at major fault for going through with this IF you have revoked it with them in the past. I hope everything works out for you :?

I'm really surprised your employer doesn't understand the difference between garnishment and wage assignment, they are setting them self up for problems in the near future. If this company isn't even in the states then they are NOT lending legally, therefore, the entire wage assignment is totally illegal. If I were you, I would print off the laws about wage assignment verses garnishment, and plop it down on the desk of the person who is responsible for allowing this illegal attachment to go through, I would then make it known that they will be responsible for reimbursement if they do not follow the law. This just amazes me. :shock:

I am surprised also, we are a huge Fortune 300 company. I've been pouring over information to send to the payroll contact, but I've been trying to find information on what she should in turn reply to paydayavenue. If she doesn't know the difference between a assignment and a garnishment, I'm sure she isn't going to know how to respond other than paying them.

Why can she just stamp it rejected? If you've revoked wage assignment, then that's the only way she needs to respond.
"Wage assignment" revoked by employee per Ohio State laws, this wage assignment is hereby rejected.

Well, I sent her the information I could find and what you all have posted and I received a response that she will not honor their request, only if something comes through the courts as a garnishment. Thank you all!

Thank goodness!!! :D

I'm glad to hear that your employer will not honor the wage assignment :D

My employer has been contacted by them as well. I will follow this lead.

Congratulations!! :D
