    Default Re: Illegal Wage Garnishment Provision in an Employment Contract

    While PA law does limit what can be garnished for I am a little concerned that this may be considered a student loan which can be garnished under PA law.

    Default Re: Illegal Wage Garnishment Provision in an Employment Contract

    It's not a student loan. Not even close.

    If the former employer goes to a new employer and says, "I have a contract with your employee that says I can 'garnish' a huge amount of money out of their paycheck", the new employer is going to... not care. They are not going to "garnish" the employee's wages. Even if the employee consented, I doubt that they would cooperate with the arrangement as opposed to telling the employee to make the payments directly.

    For anything else, the employer seeking reimbursement would need a court order for garnishment and, no matter what the contract says, they're not going to get a court to issue an order of wage garnishment for amounts in excess of what is permitted by state and federal law.

    There are some flying schools out there that do some pretty slimy methods of funding students who go on to be employees.
