An Illinois Wage Deduction Order is a document issued by the court that requires an employer to withhold a portion of an employee’s wages and send the money directly to a creditor. This type of order is typically used to enforce a court judgment for a debt owed by the employee. Types of Illinois Wage Deduction Orders include orders to pay child support, orders paying overdue taxes, orders to pay alimony, orders to pay spousal support, orders to pay a debt or judgment, and orders paying property taxes. An Illinois Wage Deduction Order is enforced by the court and must be followed by employers, who can be subject to fines and penalties if they fail to comply.
