973.05(5)(a)2.

973.05(5)(c)
(c) A person who receives notice of the assignment under
sub. (4) (b) shall withhold the amount specified in the notice from any money that person pays to the defendant later than one week after receipt of the notice of assignment. Within 5 days after the day on which the person pays money to the defendant, the person shall send the amount withheld to the clerk of circuit court of the jurisdiction providing notice. If the person has already received a notice of an assignment under
sub. (4) (b), the person shall retain the later assignment and withhold the amount specified in that assignment after the last of any prior assignments is paid in full. Within 10 days of receipt of the later notice, the person shall notify the clerk of circuit court that sent the notice that the person has received a prior notice of an assignment under
sub. (4) (b).
Section 241.09 does not apply to assignments under this section.

ch. 785 for contempt of court.
973.05(5)(f)
(f) Compliance by the person from whom the defendant receives money with the order operates as a discharge of the person's liability to the defendant as to that portion of the defendant's commission, earnings, salaries, wages, benefits or other money so affected.
973.05(5)(g)
(g) No employer may use an assignment under
sub. (4) (b) as a basis for the denial of employment to a defendant, the discharge of an employee or any disciplinary action against an employee. An employer who denies employment or discharges or disciplines an employee in violation of this paragraph may be fined not more than $500 and may be required to make full restitution to the aggrieved person, including reinstatement and back pay. Restitution shall be in accordance with
s. 973.20. An aggrieved person may apply to the district attorney or to the department of workforce development for enforcement of this paragraph.
973.05(5)(i)2.
2. If after an assignment is in effect the defendant's employer changes its payroll period, or the defendant changes employers and the new employer's payroll period is different from the former employer's payroll period, the clerk may, unless otherwise ordered by a judge, amend the withholding assignment or order so that all of the following apply:
973.05(5)(i)2.a.
a. The withholding frequency corresponds to the new payroll period.
973.05(5)(i)2.b.
b. The amounts to be withheld reflect the adjustment to the withholding frequency.
973.05(5)(j)
(j) The clerk shall provide notice of the amended withholding assignment or order under
par. (i) by regular mail to the defendant's employer and to the defendant.
