扣押工资通知， 扣押令通知.

To warn by garnishment; to give notice to.

Examples :

"The teacher garnished the student about the upcoming exam, giving notice that poor performance would result in a lower grade. "
老师对学生发出了扣押工资通知，警告他们即将到来的考试，并告知他们成绩不佳会导致降级。(Although "garnish" doesn't directly translate to warning about a test, this translation uses the provided definition of "扣押工资通知" which translates to "wage garnishment notice" and connects it to the context of warning about the exam and its consequences. It highlights that the teacher is in effect issuing a "wage garnishment notice" by connecting poor performance to a tangible consequence, thus reflecting the 'giving notice' aspect of the definition.)
