I have to chime in. Can't resist. I feel for you having a dirt bag owe you money, but something about making that employer pay, just because you can, seems misguided. If the guy was still working there and the employer refused to garnish, then have at it. But, I'm not sure that forcing the employer to pay in this case serves to do much but punish a (near) bystander, given that he didn't employ the dirt bag for very long.

I don't have all the details so forgive me, but just because the law provides a remedy via statute, doesn't mean the use of that law serves public policy in every case.

The dirt bag will hopefully get another job, and you can go after that one.
