Details: The state of Georgia has enacted legislation (SB 194) which amends the maximum amount of an employee’s disposable earnings that may be garnished to repay a debt. Effective May, 8, 2018, the maximum wages subject to garnishment are the lesser of: (1) 25% of weekly disposable earnings, or (2) weekly disposable earnings in excess of $217.50, up from $217.00. For pay periods other than weekly, the proportionate fraction, or a multiple of 30 hours per week at $7.25 per hour will be used to determine the garnishment limit. Currently, a multiple of $7.25 per hour is used.
