Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Any assignment that would materially alter the duties of the promisor is unenforceable, since the promisor cannot be required to do something significantly more than, or different from, what he or she originally agreed to do. Assignments contrary to public policy are also not effective. Assignments of future wages are an example. In order to protect wage earners from unwisely impoverishing themselves, some states prohibit wage assignments by statute.
