Employers Caught Taking Child Support

In some states employers are asked to deduct a certain amount of money from employees' paychecks to pay for child support. This is a routine practice that helps both parents and government agencies get the money they need. However, in a recent investigation of employers asked to remove funds, the government discovered that some companies were not being so honest.

After suspecting that some employers were not cooperating fully with the government, an investigation was launched. It was found that some companies were withholding some money for themselves. A total of ten employers were found to have withheld $500,000 from both the employees and the government. These companies will be prosecuted and could face fines up to $30,000, as well as the money they stole.
