The Illinois Wage Deduction Summons is a legal document used to garnish wages from employees who owe a debt to their employer. The summons is issued by a court of law and requires an employer to withhold a portion of their employee’s wages to satisfy the debt. The summons is served to the employer by the sheriff or other court officer, and must be acted on within 14 days of receiving it. There are three types of Illinois Wage Deduction Summons: 1) Court Judgement Wage Deduction Summons, which is used to collect a specific amount of money for a court judgement; 2) Administrative Wage Deduction Summons, which is used to collect back taxes, child support, or other monies due to a governmental agency; and 3) Private Wage Deduction Summons, which is used to collect a debt owed to a private creditor. All three types of summons require the employer to deduct a portion of wages from the employee’s paycheck and remit them to the court or agency. The employer is also responsible for providing the employee with a copy of the summons.
