Wrongfully Deducted Child Support!

What is the name of your state? What is the name of your state? Nevada
I was working for a large corporation in for one-year. Child support payments were being deducted from my paycheck. I left the corporation for three-years. During this time my child support payments had ended. Three weeks ago I returned to the corporation. Instead of submitting “new hire” information to the appropriate agencies, they simply accessed my old information from their database and wrongfully deducted child support! I was not notified of this deduction in any way. Apparently, this will take some time to remedy. Does untimely payroll penalties apply in this circumstance? Can they be held accountable in any way?

Wow, that's a new one. The child aged out or emancipated during the absence, huh? I don't think you have any recourse but bugging the agencies to get your refund processed and making sure it does not repeat.

Your employer might have some liability in this matter. You should certainly bring it to their attention ASAP so that the do not make any further deductions. I assume that you have paperwork stating that the support has ended? Show that to your employer. If you handle it with your employer quickly enough it may help.
