Giải thích
Under the Wage Garnishment Law (Code of Civil Procedure §706.050), for ordinary debts the garnishment is limited to the lesser of 25% of the employee's disposable earnings or the amount by which weekly disposable earnings exceed 40 times the state (or higher local) minimum wage. California's use of the local/state minimum wage often makes its protection more generous than the federal formula. Higher percentages apply to special debts like child support.
