The Fines Recovery Unit has issued the above enforcement order(s) against
the above fine defaulter.
The fine defaulter is employed by you/your organisation and is a person
to whom earnings are payable or are likely to become payable by

THE FINES RECOVERY UNIT ORDERS THAT:
The employer must, for the purpose of securing payment of the

employer, or until this order ceases to have effect, make deductions out of the
net earnings of the fine defaulter.
The protected earnings are 80% of the net earnings in respect of each

The appropriate deduction is $________/_______% of the net earnings
in respect of each payday.
Subject to paragraph 6, on each pay-day that the net earnings are in
excess of the protected earnings specified in paragraph 2, the employer may
first pay to himself or herself, out of that excess, $(monetary amount) for the
administrative costs of complying with this order.
Schedule 5

5. Subject to paragraph 6, following payment of the administrative costs in
accordance with paragraph 4, the employer must pay to the Fines Recovery
Unit, out of the remaining excess, the appropriate deduction specified in
paragraph 3.
6. If on a pay-day the amount of net earnings in excess of the protected
earnings is insufficient to allow for payment in full of the administrative costs
or appropriate deduction, on that pay-day the employer may first pay as much
as the excess allows towards the administrative costs, must then pay as much
as the excess allows towards the appropriate deduction, and must pay the
deficit in accordance with paragraph 7.
7. If on a pay-day, after payment of the administrative costs and
appropriate deduction in full, the net earnings remain in excess of the
protected earnings, the employer must pay from that excess as much of the
total deficit from previous pay-days as the excess allows, first towards the
outstanding administrative costs and then towards the outstanding appropriate
deductions.
