    Got a call from my ICA this morning. Said the due to my child support (she referred to it as a "garnishment"), that they are permanently turning off all advances. Now, I don't use advances much at all. But it is something I like to have at my disposal. My patience with this company is running thin.

    Sounds like your child support is more than they are planning on paying you in a week. Just a thought

    Well they did reduce amount possible not long ago. Less than tactful way to inform you.

    Advances for "personal" use is, and always has been silly in my book. I have my own money in the form of a Debit card should I need something.

    However; I DO like to take advances for expenses that are the companies responsibility---ie. Tolls, Scales, Oil, Coolant etc...
    Stuff that would be reimbursed if I used my own money. I figure out what I will need BEFORE I fuel, and type in the exact amount at the pump (rounded to the nearest dollar anyway) that I will need, and pay for stuff with the companies cash. Turn in receipts, and it all evens out---I owe them nothing, they owe me nothing.

    Never had my check garnished for anything, so I know nothing on that subject.

    My avail amount has never changed and I've never been in the red. She did admit that I was supposed to be told a while ago but she dropped the ball

    The problem I have is that they label my child support as a garnishment. It gives it a negative connotation.

    Catchall phrase that payroll uses. Not sure how else they would classify any number of other payments than direct deposits? I' m hard pressed to think its personal. But you should have the mechanism in place to question the terminology.

    I like my advance, not sure why it's bad to use for personal use?
    I take out the cash and get groceries, drinks, work supplies, tolls, etc. that way I don't have a ton of random charges on my bank account.

    If your a contractor, it's none of their business if you owe child support, you are your employee so how can the control you money like that?
