In 2013, there were about13.4 million custodial parents在美国。在那些监护父母中，有48.7％的父母有法律或非正式的子女抚养协议。

As an employer, you might hire an employee at some point who has a child support agreement. If that happens, you might receive an income withholding order. If you do receive an order, you need to know what an income withholding order is and what to do with it.

So, what does income withholding order mean?

What is an income withholding order?

收入保留命令（IWO）是发送给雇主的文件，以告诉他们从雇员的工资中扣留子女抚养费。硫磺可以来自州，部落或领土机构；法院;一名律师;或个人。

If the IWO is on an official预扣支持表格，您必须兑现要求的预扣。

What does income withholding order mean for employers?

如果你收到工资withholding order for one of you employees, you must verify that the IWO is valid and contains all necessary information. After you verify the IWO, you must implement it and begin wage withholding.

验证和制定IWO

当您收到IWO时，请按照以下步骤：

1. 记录您收到IWO的日期。
2. 确定非客户父母是否适合您。如果非监护父母对您不起作用，请完成订单的第四页（就业终止或收入状态的通知）并将其退还给发件人。否则，请继续下一步。
3. Make sure the IWO is “regular on its face.” If the order is not regular, return it to the sender.
   1. The IWO is irregular if it doesn’t include all the information needed for withholding or it instructs you to send the payment somewhere other than the state disbursement unit. For more examples of things that make an IWO irregular, read theIWO Instructions。
4. If someone other than a court or child support agency sends the IWO to you, the IWO is considered a notice and not an order. If the underlying order is not attached, you should return the IWO to the sender.
5. Give a copy of the IWO to your employee if the IWO was issued by another state or if the appropriate box is checked on the form.
6. 最后，请遵循国际自动企业的预扣和汇款条款。

Withholding child support

您必须在邮政后14个工作日开始的第一个薪水期开始扣押子女抚养费。Some states requireyou to start withholding sooner. You must withhold child support until you are told otherwise.

您将使用预扣命令中给出的金额和百分比来计算员工工资中保留多少子女的抚养费。

Once you withhold child support, you must submit the payment to the state disbursement unit within seven business days of the date you paid wages to the employee. Some states have laws that set a shorter time for submitting the payment.

You can charge the employee an administrative fee for processing the child support withholding. If you choose to do this, you will also withhold it from the employee’s wages. The maximum fee you can charge isset by your state。同样，费用加子抚养费的费用不能超过最大允许的儿童抚养费。这意味着您可能会拒绝儿童抚养费来支付费用。然后，员工将欠欠款的儿童抚养费。

如果员工抱怨预扣或说命令不正确，请不要停止预扣。告诉您的员工联系发出命令的机构或法院。如果需要纠正IWO，则该机构或法院将向您发送新的IWO。收到新的IWO后，请按照该文档上的说明进行操作。

您必须在每个薪水期间扣留子女抚养费。如果您不扣留并提交员工的子女抚养费，您将面临由州确定的罚款，您的业务将负责缺失的儿童抚养费。

如果有多个预扣命令怎么办？

You can receive multiple IWOs for one employee. What you do with the IWOs depends on if they are for the same child or for different children.

If the IWO is for a different child, you will withhold payments for each order.州法律determine how you withhold the payments.

There can only be one IWO per child. If the IWO is for the same child, follow these steps:

1. Continue withholding based on the first IWO received.
2. Give the employee a copy of the second IWO.
3. Contact the agency, court, or party that sent the second IWO. Tell them that you are already sending payments for the child. Let them know how much you are withholding and where you are sending the money.
4. 联系发送第一个IWO的机构，法院或一方。告诉他们，您收到了第二个孩子的IWO。

如果非监护父母对您不起作用怎么办？

如果您收到IWO，而非客户父母不适合您，则必须通知发件人。完成IWO的第四页（就业终止或收入状态的通知），然后将其退还给发件人。

如果雇员被终止，您还必须通过使用IWO的就业终止或收入状态部分的通知发送通知。报告终止员工的截止日期是determined by your state。

没有

If you receive an income withholding order, there are some things you absolutely cannot do.

You cannot contest the IWO. As the employer, you simply must honor the IWO. Only the employee can contest an IWO.

您无法解雇员工，因为您会收到有关其工资的硫磺。
