Legal Question in Business Law in Alabama
Wage Garnishment
I work for a company that is a chain and has many stores around the United States. The home office is based in Pennsylvania and payroll is issued from Pennsylvania. I work in one of the chain stores in Alabama. Five months ago I was served with a wage garnishment order at the store where I work. The garnishment is for the remainder owed for a repo car. The garnishment order came from a court in Alabama in the county in which I work. To this day no money has been taken out of my biweekly paycheck for the garnishment. Why? Would it be subject to Pennsylvania law or Alabama law?

Re: Wage Garnishment
You can't garnish someone across state lines.
