Misconceptions About Garnishee Orders

Slide 1
1. Garnishee Orders Can Be Issued Without Notice

Many believe garnishee orders can be imposed without prior notification. In reality, a court must issue the order, and employees are informed throughout the process. DCM supports companies by ensuring their employees are well-informed and guided through each step, reducing potential confusion.

Slide 2
2. All Debts Result in a Garnishee Order

Some think any outstanding debt will automatically lead to a garnishee order. However, this order is granted only for specific debts, and creditors must prove a valid underlying debt. DCM assists companies in understanding which debts may lead to such orders, empowering both employers and employees with essential knowledge.

Slide 3
3. My Employer Has Full Control Over Salary Deductions

It’s a common misconception that employers can decide the deduction amounts. In truth, the garnishee order specifies the exact amount to be deducted. DCM collaborates with employers to ensure compliance with legal requirements, protecting employee rights while alleviating administrative burdens.

Slide 3
4. Employees Have No Rights Once a Garnishee Order Is Issued

Many believe that once a garnishee order is in place, employees have no rights. However, employees retain several rights, including the ability to dispute the order or seek a reduction. DCM equips companies with the tools to support their employees in asserting these rights confidently.

Slide 3
5. Garnishee Orders Are Permanent

Some think garnishee orders last indefinitely. However, they are temporary and remain in effect only until the debt is paid off or contested. DCM helps companies navigate this process, fostering a supportive environment that aids employees in achieving financial stability.
