Deduction of Earnings Orders
Child Maintenance
CHILD MAINTENANCE DEO CONSULTATION
2 May 2012
This consultation concerns the draft regulations which make changes to the way Deduction from Earnings Orders (DEOs), made by the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission (the Commission), are administered by employers.
The Regulations will:
(i) Amend the manner in which the Normal Deduction Rate (NDR), for the purpose of a DEO relating to a new scheme case, is communicated to employers. The NDR will be notified to employers as a monthly rate and also expressed in weekly, two weekly and four weekly terms. The employer will then choose which rate to apply, depending on the employee’s actual pay frequency; and (ii) Amend the way in which a non-resident parent’s protected earnings, are determined and communicated to employers, for DEOs relating to a new scheme case. The Protected Earnings Proportion (PEP) will be specified as 60% of the employee’s actual net earnings; and (iii) The amendments will also apply to certain cases on the existing 1993 and 2003 child maintenance schemes. A number of cases administered under these schemes that have been closed for the purposes of on-going maintenance, but have arrears of maintenance outstanding will be subject to the amended DEO provisions. These will generally be cases where either the clients are not eligible to open a new scheme case or have chosen not to do so. The new provisions will apply to such cases
