NEW - Warning Message if Primary Work State does not Allow Garnishment Type [Effective Immediately]

A warning message is generated in the Problem Pane if the Primary Work State does not allow a garnishment type and the Override Work State is blank. This occurs when the garnishment is issued out of one state AND the employee’s primary work state is a different state that does not allow that particular garnishment type AND no Override Work State is present. GPTCI-90844

Text of new warning message:

<Primary Work State> does not permit garnishment types of <Garnishment Type>.  Some states do permit exceptions based nexus in the Issuing State or other reasons.  If the work state permits, the Issuing State can be entered in the Override Work State to calculate. Please consult your legal advisor to determine if this is acceptable.
