Multi-level wage garnishment for one employee

Hello-

I have 1 employee with a State Tax wage garnishment order. The order states that garnishment of 25% if wages are less than $290; over $290, employee gets paid $217.50, the remainder gets garnished. I've no trouble setting up the 25%, but don't understand how to create a "trigger" for wages over $290, so that I only pay employee $217.50. Ideas?

Thanks for posting here, jenny5cats.

 

When you set up the garnishment, you only have the option to add the Default Rate and Limit. While we're unable to prompt QuickBooks to garnish the remainder, you'll want to manually edit the amount when you run the employee's payroll. 

 

I've got this article for more details: Set up a payroll garnishment item. You can also check other guides and articles, by browsing a topic in our general support page.
