Policy # 415.0
Effective: 09 10/06
Section: Employee Relations
Subject: Collections and Garnishments

COLLECTIONS

All employees are expected to conduct their personal business affairs in a manner that will not bring discredit to the University. The University will not serve as agent for the collection of indebtedness claims against employees and complainants. Only those claims that are presently collectible under the law will be honored.

GARNISHMENTS

Garnishments against earnings issued by Arizona courts will be honored in accordance with their terms. Garnishments obtained by creditors are served by courts directly on the State Treasurer in the State Capitol to the Financial Services Operations Office.

The Payroll Section of the Financial Services Office will withhold or make payroll deductions from the affected employee's paychecks when notified by the appropriate authority in accordance with a garnishment, judgment or court order which authorizes the University to withhold or deduct wages.
