A wage
garnishment is a court ordered document that is
served upon the employer for the purpose of
deducting money from an employee’s salary in order
to satisfy a debt. Most common monetary judgments
are for unpaid child support, spousal support or
unpaid taxes.
The Office of the Long Beach City Auditor currently
manages over 300 active garnishment files for the
over 5,000 employees of the City of Long Beach
totaling $87,000 each payroll period. The process is
complex because each garnishment has unique
regulations regarding collection and payment of
monies processed. Multiple agencies have active
garnishments with the City at any one time.
Currently, the Office of the Long Beach City Auditor
is managing accounts for over twenty agencies
including The U.S. Department Of Education, The
California Franchise Tax Board, The United States
Internal Revenue Service and The Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Department.
The City Auditor’s Office staff performs all wage
garnishment-related duties including audits of
garnishments each pay period. Staff complies with
appropriate continuing education to ensure that all
new laws, rules and regulations are being practiced.
