Editorial policy

• Every legal rule, deadline and dollar limit comes from a statute, court rule or official agency page, which we link on the page.
• Each page shows the date its facts were last checked. We re-check minimum wages every January and July, when they change.
• Garnishment examples are calculated directly from the statute's formula, not estimated.
• We don't publish rules for places we haven't verified.
• Some pages carry affiliate links to paid expert consultations. They never change what we write, and each page says when a link is an affiliate link.
• Found an error? Tell us through the contact form and we'll correct it.
