If the garnishment type has any parameters for the selected province, the application displays them in the Additional Details section of the Properties tab of the garnishment. The way you configure these parameters can impact the amount of the employee's earnings that is protected from being garnished, based on the minimum subsistence rules of the province.
These parameters are only applicable when you select a minimum subsistence rule, and otherwise any inputs are ignored.
If a garnishment type has no parameters, the application displays a message to that effect.
