•      Correspondence is generated and sent to the bank to request execution of the levy.

•    Five days after correspondence is sent to the bank, the notice is sent to the Employer.

The reason there is a five-day delay is to ensure the bank has time to freeze the bank account/take action. Otherwise, the Employer would potentially quickly liquidate the account prior to the bank taking funds for the levy.
