I work in Human Resources and I have receive a notification to garnish for a person who is a subcontractor to us. Do I instruct Payroll to garnish his invoices to us?

Be careful. I don't think that you can garnish a subcontractor's wages, since he is not an employee. If you do, the subcontractor may be able to sue the company for the contractual compensation for his work.
Seek advice from an attorney (in-house or other).

Well, if it is the IRS yes you have to no matter who ever it is. Lot of times you get this letter is because the person is trying to avoid the Garnishor and that's why these people who have found out that this person is working with you to collect money for them.
If you mention it to the subcontractor, they probably end up leaving to work some where else.

call whoever issued the garnishment and ask them exactly what you have to do.. there's no such thing as a stupid question right?
