Wage Order, how long to take effect?

[DUMBAGAIN]

Its been 3 months since we filed and our wage order is yet to start. Any ideas how long it takes to see wage deductions coming out? I would really like them to start, so I don't have to make a trip to the bank for a cashiers check and then on to the post office, I don't mail anything any more and this is starting to be a pain....

Took about three weeks for me. Your lawyer does the paper work to get it rolling. That was about the second thing I signed when officially filing.

Took 3 wks from filing for me... There are good and bad parts of that one...I saw my paycheck and almost fell over !!! and to think its gonna look like that for 5 yrs... I keep telling myself 1 mth at a time rather than looking at the 5 yrs

Yeah, they take almost half my (net) paycheck, but it pays for my house and cars (and keeps the IRS off my back even though I only owe them $3K).

My wage order was in effect in about 10 days. I am also collecting unemployement some weeks so I have to mail the payment those weeks.

How long it takes, most likely depends on the size of the company you work for. I work for a small company and when deduction was in place by the first paycheck after the order was entered. If your deduction hasn't taken place after (3) months, I would contact your payroll department to make sure that they received the order.
