Final answer:

The maximum amount of disposable earnings that can be withheld from an employee not supporting a spouse or child and not in arrears is 60%.

Step-by-step explanation:

If an employee is not supporting another child and/or spouse and is not in arrears, the maximum amount of disposable earnings that can be withheld is 60%. This is based on standards set by federal or state laws dealing with garnishment for things like child support or alimony. For employees who are not supporting a spouse or child, and are not past due on support payments, this percentage becomes the legal maximum that can be withheld from their disposable earnings
