From experience, I know for a fact that while usually slow, the FOC will forward legal papers to the employer to have them garnish your wages for child support. If the employer fails to do this, they can be fined and held accountable in a civil suit for up to three times the amount. This is especially good if you have your pay stubs which say the money is being taken out for child support, but your employer doesn't send it in. If you speak with you caseworker and show them you thought it was being taken out and are not responsible, he/she may be willing to help take your former employer to court.

I find that you are better off contacting the DOL, and a attorney. It makes no difference that they have an explanation or not, their actions shows what can be done to an employee, which in turn makes us wonder for the customer. I will do some research on Quality Software for you.

Whether Michigan law states that your employer doesn't have to give a reason or not for termination, something is "rotten in fishville." If everything you have said about your competence is correct and you have done everything properly, the Department of Labor needs to be contacted about their failure to enact your insurance and pay your child support payments. I take it you meant that your employer garnishes your wages and were supposed to pay, out of your check, your child support. I too wouldn't waste a great deal of time and effort going after these lowlifes. They will get theirs!! Report them and then get on with your life, you need to continue to make your responsibilities to your children.

Unless there's been a recent change in the law, in Michigan an employer doesn't have to give a reason for terminating an employee.
