Power of Office to determine whether particular payments are earnings.

77B.(1) Where an attachment of earnings order is in force the Office shall, on
the application of either the employer or the debtor, determine whether
payments to the debtor of a particular class or description specified by the
application are earnings for the purposes of the order; and the employer shall
give effect to any determination for the time being in force under this
section.

not incur any liability for non-compliance with the order as respects any

subsection shall not, unless the Office otherwise orders, apply as respects
such payments if the employer subsequently withdraws the application.][
