Wage Deductions Laws in Texas
Quote:
DEDUCTIONS FROM WAGES One of the most troublesome aspects of determining what wages are due and unpaid is the question raised by deductions from wages made by the employer. The employer may not make deductions unless ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction (as in court-ordered child support payments); authorized to do so by state or federal law (as in IRS withholding); or authorized in writing by the employee, and then only for a lawful purpose. The latter category is the one that causes many problems. Authorizations that are too general or too broad may not be given effect. Deductions for out-of-pocket loans to an employee, even though there is an oral agreement to repay, or even to repay out of a particular wage payment, will not be allowed, unless the deduction is authorized in writing. Employers must be careful to get a proper written authorization before making a payroll deduction. HMMMM...Wage assignments are classified as "voluntary deductions

Yeah, but actually, Sonic tried to send one to my HR person a couple of months ago...BEFORE they marked me PIF, and my HR person (who is VERY good) let me know first before contacting Sonic, and told me that they would not honor these types of wage assignments without a VALID signature, which is NOT the "digital" signature that most of us provide when getting PDLs...so...they will honor these things, but on a very strict policy basis. I have something else that I will post on here in a sec...it's a list of types of assignments and garnishments TX honors.
I know my employer wont honor them unless it is court ordered ,
