Question for payroll people

[Chocaholic]

I am studying at the moment and there is a question that I can't answer and Google can't seem to direct me to the right place. I am hoping someone here knows the answer or where I could find it.

Can a garnishee order be taken from termination pay?

Thanks

Google the word garnishee, that should give you some answers. HTH's

Already done but got nothing that relates to termination pay.

I work in HR - I can check with the payroll people tomorrow and let you know

This has all changed recently.......

As far as I know and what we have done (once) in the past, yes a termination payment can be used againsted a garnishee order. Have you spoken to your tutor??

Have you spoken to your tutor??

Not yet. I am trying to exhaust all possible avenues before I "admit defeat" and say I can't find the information.

I even asked our payroll person at work and she didn't know. I am also waiting for someone from Fair Work Australia to email me.
