New Jersey Order Authorizing Retention is a legal document issued by the courts in the state of New Jersey that grants employers the authority to retain an employee's wages. This document is typically used when an employee is unable to make a payment due to court-ordered garnishments or other financial obligations. The order outlines the amount of wages that can be deducted from an employee's paycheck, as well as the frequency and duration of the deduction. There are two main types of New Jersey Order Authorizing Retention: Non-Judicial and Judicial. A Non-Judicial Order Authorizing Retention can be issued by an employer and does not require a court hearing. A Judicial Order Authorizing Retention requires a court hearing and is issued by a judge.
