How does wage garnishment work?
Simple version: The creditor sues the debtor and is awarded a judgment. The creditor executes the judgment as a wage garnishment. The garnishment papers are served on the garnishee's employer. The employer withholds the amount stated in the garnishment order from the named employee's wages until the debt is satisfied or the garnishment order is no longer valid.

You should in fact receive a letter from who the creditor is and if they are being garnished your employer should send you all the information that was sent to them in order for them to proceed with the garnishment.
