are the earnings left after deducting the part which state or federal law requires an
employer to withhold as mandatory deductions. Generally, these mandatory
deductions are federal income tax, social security (FICA) tax, state income tax, state
disability insurance, and payments to public employee retirement systems.
Disposable earnings can change from pay period to pay period, whenever gross pay
or required deductions change.
