Ha! This question is a real head-scratcher. I bet the answer is A) Garnishments, just to mess with us. You know HR loves those little tricks!

Hmm, I'm stumped on this one. Maybe D) Medical support orders? Seems like something an employee might agree to have taken out of their pay, even if it's not technically 'voluntary'.

Ooh, this one's tricky! I'm going to guess B) Wage assignments, since that seems like something an employee might choose to do voluntarily.

I'm pretty sure voluntary deductions are things like retirement contributions or health insurance premiums, not garnishments or wage attachments. Those sound more like involuntary deductions to me.

I disagree, I believe the answer is D) Medical support orders because it's also something the employee consents to.
