You can enter garnishment adjustment entries to modify the year-to-date totals of the garnishment.
If more money has been garnished from an employee’s wages to cover a garnishment than is currently in the payroll records, the payroll administrator can record an adjustment to correct the totals; similarly, if less money has been garnished, the payroll administrator can record a negative adjustment.
You can add to or subtract from the totals by supplying a positive or negative number in the Amount field of the adjustment. For negative adjustments, you can only subtract up to the amount already garnished from the employee’s wages.
