TAKE NOTICE that an application is being made by the judgment-creditor to the above-named court, located at
_______________, New Jersey for a Wage Execution Order to issue against your salary, to be served on your employer,
_______________ (name and address of employer), for: (a) 10% of your gross salary when the same shall equal or
exceed the amount of $217.50 [$196.50] per week; or (b) 25% of your disposable earnings for that week; or (c) the
amount, if any, by which your disposable weekly earnings exceed $217.50 [$196.50], whichever shall be the least.
Disposable earnings are defined as that portion of the earnings remaining after the deduction from the gross earnings of
any amounts required by law to be withheld. In the event the disposable earnings so defined are $217.50 [$196.50] or
less, no amount shall be withheld under this execution. In no event shall more than 10% of gross salary be withheld.
Your employer may not discharge, discipline or discriminate against you because your earnings have been subjected to
garnishment.
You may notify the Clerk of the Court and the attorneys for judgment-creditor, whose address appears above, in writing,
within ten days after service of this notice upon you, why such an Order should not be issued, and thereafter the

If you do not notify the Clerk of the Court and judgment-creditor’s attorney, or the judgment-creditor if there is no
attorney, in writing of your objection, you will receive no further notice and the Order will be signed by the Judge as a
matter of course.
You also have a continuing right to object to the wage execution or apply for a reduction in the amount withheld even
after it has been issued by the Court. To object or apply for a reduction, file a written statement of your objection or
reasons for a reduction with the Clerk of the Court and send a copy to the creditor’s attorney or directly to the creditor if
