Section 20-6-218 - Penalties
(a) A payor who fails to withhold income in the amount specified in the notice to payor is liable for any amount up to the accumulated amount the payor should have withheld from the obligor's income.
(b) Payors shall pay in compliance with the instructions specified in the notice to payor and in accordance with the duties specified in W.S. 20-6-212. No payor shall use the existence of an income withholding order authorized by this act as grounds to discharge, discipline or otherwise penalize an obligor or as grounds to refuse to employ a person. The penalties imposed under this section shall be collected from the violator, paid to the state treasurer and credited as provided in W.S. 8-1-109. Before the court imposes a civil penalty, the payor accused of a violation shall be notified, in writing, of the specific nature of the alleged violation and the time and place, at least ten (10) days from the date of the notice, when a hearing of the matter shall be held. After hearing or upon failure of the accused to appear at the hearing, the court shall determine the amount of the civil penalty to be imposed in accordance with the limitation in this section.
(c) Any payor who violates this section is subject to a civil penalty in an amount of not more than two hundred dollars ($200.00).
(d) Penalties under this section shall not be imposed unless service of the notice to payor was completed by sending by certified mail return receipt requested to, or by personal service upon, the employer.
(e) Except for a violation of subsection (b) of this section, an employer who complies in good faith with an income withholding order shall not be subject to civil liabilities.
