Employer to make payments

860 Employer to make payments

(1) For each pay day while an enforcement warrant authorising the redirection of an enforcement debtor’s earnings is in force, the employer—
(a) must deduct from the enforcement debtor’s earnings the amount specified in the warrant and pay it to the person specified in the warrant; and
(b) may deduct from the enforcement debtor’s earnings an administration charge and keep it as a contribution towards the administrative cost of making payments under the warrant; and
Note—

"Administration charge" is defined in schedule 3 (Dictionary). The amount of the charge is fixed under these rules.
(c) must give to the enforcement debtor a notice detailing the deductions.
(2) However, in applying subrule (1) (a) to the last deduction, the employer must deduct the amount, being no more than the amount specified in the warrant for deduction each pay day, that results in the total amount deducted by the employer being the total amount for deduction specified in the warrant.
(3) A deduction paid or kept by an employer under subrule (1) is a valid discharge as between the employer and the enforcement debtor, to the extent of the deduction, of the employer’s liability to pay earnings.
