SCARS, as adapted by the Nixdorf Computer Company, becomes involved when the civil division time-stamps a writ received from the county clerk's office. First, the system applies an identification number; then it records the litigants, the ordering court, and the plaintiff or attorney in one file. In the case of income executions, SCARS' accounting module computes interest at 9 percent on a daily declining principal balance as mandated by New York State. It also adds a $7.00 county filing fee. Should a defendant not comply with an income execution within 20 days, the account automatically appears on the system's "Delinquent Payers Report." Employers, under New York law, must send 10 percent of the defendant's gross income to the civil division. Once the division receives a check, the Accounts Payable module logs the payment, separates county and attorneys fees, and disburses payment to each. The system uses the same process for other writs.
