Regulation 6 I1
Subject to regulations 7 and 8, the sum to be deducted by an employer under an attachment of earnings order on any pay-day shall be—
where P’s earnings from the employer are payable weekly, a sum equal to the appropriate percentage of the attachable earnings otherwise payable on that pay-day; and for this purpose the appropriate percentage is the percentage (or percentages) specified in column 2 of Table A in regulation 5 in relation to the band in column 1 of that Table within which the attachable earnings fall;
where his earnings from the employer are payable monthly, a sum equal to the appropriate percentage of the attachable earnings otherwise payable on that pay-day; and for this purpose the appropriate percentage is the percentage (or percentages) specified in column 2 of Table B in regulation 5 in relation to the band in column 1 of that Table within which the attachable earnings fall; and
where his earnings from the employer are payable at regular intervals of a whole number of weeks or months, the sum arrived at by—
calculating what would be his weekly or monthly attachable earnings (the “notional attachable earnings”) by dividing the attachable earnings payable to him by the employer on the pay-day by that whole number of weeks or months, as the case may be,
ascertaining the percentage (or percentages) specified in column 2 of Table A (if the whole number is of weeks) or of Table B (if the whole number is of months) in regulation 5 in relation to the band in column 1 of that Table within which the notional attachable earnings calculated under paragraph (i) fall, and
calculating the sum which equals the appropriate percentage (or percentages) of the notional attachable earnings for any of those weeks or months and multiplying that sum by the whole number of weeks or months, as appropriate.
