Bankruptcy Law Answers
It's illegal to fire someone because they filed bankruptcy, or because they are utilizing some aspect of the bankruptcy process. However, at least in Missouri, it is possible to have the payments made another way than through a wage deduction. The trustee (here, at least) prefers the wage deduction.
