When restitution is required of an offender who receives a sentence that includes a period of probation and who is employed,
upon application of the offender's probation officer, the court shall enter a separate order for income withholding. The withholding order must direct the employer to deduct from all income due and payable to the offender an amount determined pursuant to section 1326-A to meet the offender's restitution obligation. The withholding order must include an instruction to the employer that upon
receipt of a copy of the withholding order the employer shall:
A. Immediately begin to withhold the offender's income when the offender is usually paid; [1999, c. 469, §1 (NEW).]
B. Send each amount withheld to the agency to which restitution has been ordered to be paid at the address set forth in the order
within 7 business days of the withholding; and [1999, c. 469, §1 (NEW).]
C. Identify each amount sent to the agency by indicating the court's docket number. [1999, c. 469, §1 (NEW).]

The income withholding order is effective as long as the order for restitution upon which it is based is effective, including after a defendant is no longer in the custody or under the supervision of the Department of Corrections and has
not paid the restitution in full as described in section 1326-F, or until further order of the court.
