Can my employer fire me because I have an income attachment?

When an Order of Attachment is about to be or has been entered, an employer shall NOT use the attachment, in whole or in part, as a reason to demote, discharge, or take disciplinary action against the employee. If this occurs, the employer may be found to be in Contempt of Court and committed to jail or fined. Additionally, you, as an employee, have the right to sue your employer for damages resulting from a violation.
