Payment Orders: Alter a plan has been confirmed, the court may order the debtor's employer, or any other entity providing income to the debtor, to make direct payments to the Chapter 13 trustee.

PAYMENTS: Commencement of Payments: The debtor's payments under a proposed plan must begin within thirty days after the plan is filed, unless the court rules otherwise. Any payment made before confirmation of a plan must be held by the trustee until the confirmation hearing. If the plan is confirmed, then the trustee makes distribution as provided for by the plan, However, if confirmation is denied, the money must be returned to the debtor, less any unpaid administrative expenses that have been allowed. [B.C. §1326(a)(2)] I).
Distribution: Ordinarily, the payments under a confirmed plan are sent to creditors by the trustee unless the plan or the confirmation order provides otherwise, such as where a debtor engaged in business is allowed to perform this function. [B.C. §1326(c)
Administrative Expenses: Prior to or concurrent with each payment to creditors under a Chapter 13 plan, the trustee is required to pay any unpaid administrative expenses or bankruptcy lees or charges, as well as the percentage fee set for a standing trustee (where one has been appointed).
