      16a-3-305.   (UCCC) No assignment of earnings.

This section does not prohibit an employee from authorizing deductions from his earnings if the authorization is revocable.

      (2)   A sale of unpaid earnings made in consideration of the payment of money to or for the account of the seller of the earnings is deemed to be a loan to him secured by an assignment of earnings.
