641. If salaries and wages are seized by garnishment, the writ must mention the debtor’s residence, the nature of his employment and the place where he works, if the seizing creditor knows them.
The writ orders the garnishee to declare to and deposit with the clerk, within 10 days following the service of the writ, personally or by registered or certified mail, the seizable portion of what he owes the seized debtor, to declare and deposit again in the same manner every month and to serve a copy of his first declaration on the seizing creditor, by registered or certified mail. A copy of such declaration must also be served, in the same manner, on the debtor by the seizing creditor and proof of the service must be filed in the office of the court.
If the debtor leaves his employ, the garnishee must forthwith so declare.
The seizure remains binding for the seizable portion thereof, so long as the debtor remains in his employment and all the claims filed by his creditors have not been paid.
