Often mistakenly called Garnishee orders...
70%of my staff  have got them....

My issue is *I* am commanded to take money off their salary

Initially they signed the consent to Judgement orders and have now been "garnished" . which switches the legal liability to ME , the employer , for payment.

Firstly most of these are not valid as the emoluments order was issued outside the juristiction the employer conducts business on

Secondly the figures due are grossly inflated , a R1500 debt become R42 000 what with ******** charges and usurious "expected" interest and what not. the can never get out this debt paying the amounts commanded

Thirdly , how these ppl get so much credit astounds me

The effect on me is what pisses me off more.

My staff are earning less money a month which de motivates them and they adopt a "ahh flip it..I'm not getting paid for that" attitude or puts em into further hardship and I get pestered for loans etc..
Albeit I have explained it is THEIR actions that legally oblige me to subtract and pay over (also an admin nightmare) and I have been commanded by the court , they kinda see it as me doing all this in some personal way  to "screw" them over...

Bad Bad System, open to huge abuse by bottom feeding "collection" legal practitioners  and other scaly rogues
