When debt repayments are deducted directly from a person's salary, both employees and employers need to understand the legal rules that apply. In this interview, we unpack what an emoluments attachment order is, when it can be used, and the legal safeguards that protect debtors from unfair deductions. We also discuss the responsibilities of employers, what courts must consider before authorising these orders, whether there are limits on salary deductions, and the key rights and obligations everyone should know. Nirvana Nothnagel of Hahn & Hahn Attorneys joins Eon.

Legal Talk is aired every Wednesday morning at 10:00 on eRadio and available as a podcast thereafter.
