5315 – Writs of Garnishment/Employee Dismissal
When so ordered by the court, the U.S. Secretary of Education or the Secretary’s guaranty agency (in the case of defaulted student loans), the NWESD 189 shall comply with the directives of a Writ of Garnishment filed against an employee of the NWESD 189. Each writ of garnishment or action for collection of debts will be received and reviewed by the Superintendent or designee and such information will become a part of the employee’s official personnel file.
The NWESD 189 shall not dismiss the garnished employee for the reason that a creditor of the employee has subjected or attempted to subject unpaid earnings of the employee to a writ of wage garnishment directed to the employer, except as provided for by law. Provided, however, this provision will not apply if garnishments of an employee’s wages on three (3) or more separate indebtedness’ are served upon the employer within any period of twelve (12) consecutive months by the court.
