What is the name of your state? California
I run a medical billing service in California - all of my employees work and reside in California. I just received an order to withhold and deliver wages (a garnishment) from the State of Washington Employment Security Department against one of my employees. I have no clients or any business presence in Washington.
What are my responsibilities in complying with this order? It is not a court order, and was signed by a "Commisioner's Representative". It states that I am required to respond within 2 weeks from the date I received the notice.
If I don't comply, could be in trouble with the State of Washington? On the other hand, if I do comply, I will almost certainly be hit with a complaint by my employee for (possibly) unfairly withholding wages...
