FAQ
The Assignment of a Specified Amount of Wages is a written agreement that lets an employee earmark a portion of future earnings to a designated recipient. It defines the amount, the employer who will withhold or redirect payments, and the terms of payment, including a date range. Use it when a debt or obligation requires directed wage payments.
Garnishment is typically a court-ordered deduction from wages, while this wage assignment is a voluntary agreement between the employee and the recipient. The form specifies the exact amount and time frame, and it requires the employer’s authorization to pay the assignee, avoiding court involvement unless a separate order applies.
To complete this form, fill in the date of assignment, the assignor’s name and address, the assignee’s name and address, the amount to be paid and the earnings period, and the authorization to your employer to pay the assignee. The document may also include the assignor’s warranties, governing law, and arbitration terms.
The assignee is the person or organization receiving the wages. List full name and address for the assignee, and the employer must be authorized to redirect payments under the form’s terms. The employer will make payments to the assignee as specified, within the defined date range.
The assignor makes warranties and representations in this wage assignment, including authority to enter the assignment and accuracy of the information provided. These warranties help ensure the arrangement is properly executed and enforceable.
This form is distinct from a general wage assignment because it specifies a fixed amount and a defined earnings period, plus an explicit authorization for the employer to pay the assignee. It may also include a governing law and mandatory arbitration clause, features not always present in a generic wage assignment.
