Definition

With this checkbox, the equal payoff logic is activated.

When there are multiple garnishments of the same priority and the non-exempt amount does not suffice to pay them off, then usualy amounts are pro-rated. Equal payoff logic means that instead of pro-rating, the system will pay an equal amount toward all orders until each order is complied or the non-exempt amount is reached.

Example

Suppose there are three garnishments of equal priority and the amounts due this payperiod are $100, $200 and $500, respectively. The non-exempt amount is $400, ie. half the total amount to be withheld. The usual pro-rated amounts to be withheld are $50, $100 and $250. If equal payoff logic is active, then $100, $150 and $150 are paid.

Requirements

Equal payoff logic will only be applied to a group of equal priority if all orders of this group use a rule for the calculation of the non-exempt amount with this checkbox marked. Otherwise, amounts will be pro-rated.
