Yes you have to notify the court service in writing that the defendant (employee) has left, stating the date they left and where they are working now if known. I'm not sure within what timescale, ASAP I guess. If no deductions are made for a while they usually write and ask why.0

We had this recently - the paperwork from the court had a tick and return form to confirm if the employee left the company.0

Hi there, there are actually two deadlines when an employee has court orders and you need to read the documentation you get very carefully. It all depends if it is an AEO, a DEO, a or the Scottish equivalents and if you are responding to a notice to commence a statutory order or if it is a leaver with an existing order.
Remember also that it does not matter if the employee is actually paying anything, the order is still in force and the issuing body must be informed.
If an order is received and the employee no longer works for your employer you have 7 days to inform the court, or 14 days to inform the issuing council if it is a CTAEO. If the order is already in force and the employee leaves you must inform the issuing authority/court in writing within 7 days.
Hope that helps.
