A garnished Lay-away is a term that describes the type of transaction where an employee is purchasing product from his or her store and has the amount for it taken out of their check, so they can take to product home/consume product before presenting payment.
The word garnished is pulled from the term "Garnished Wages" implying that money is being deducted from an employees check to pay for a debt. The term "lay-away" is exactly what you'd think.
