(wage) garnishment [USA]
In the USA, it is called "wage garnishment", or simply "garnishment", and the verb is "to garnish".
Here is some related info:
http://www.dol.gov/compliance/guide/garnish.htm
"Basic Provisions/Requirements
Wage garnishment occurs when an employer is required to withhold the earnings of an individual for the payment of a debt in accordance with a court order or other legal or equitable procedure (e.g., Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or state tax collection). Title III prohibits an employer from discharging an employee because his or her earnings have been subject to garnishment for any one debt, regardless of the number of levies made or proceedings brought to collect it. Title III does not, however, protect an employee from discharge if the employee's earnings have been subject to garnishment for a second or subsequent debt.
...
Title III permits a greater amount of an employee’s wages to be garnished for child support, bankruptcy, or federal or state tax payments. Title III allows up to 50 percent of an employee's disposable earnings to be garnished for child support if the employee is supporting a current spouse or child, who is not the subject of the support order, and up to 60 percent if the employee is not doing so. An additional five percent may be garnished for support payments over 12 weeks in arrears."

deduction, authorised deductions
A letiltás egy fajta "levonás a munkavállalói munkabérből". Ez angolul (UK) "deductions from pay or wages".
Többféle levonás létezik, ezeket mindkét országban törvényes szabályok határozzák meg.
Ha a felsorolásban levő értelem szerinti magyar fogalomhoz még közelebb akarod hozni, akkor az "authorised deductions" kifejezést ajánlom.

Explanation in English:
"Letiltás" is some kind of deduction from the wages/salary/payment of the employee.
I can safely say that in the European countries these are regulated by law. There may be some differences in the kind of deductions allowed and their implementation, but essentially that's what it is.
I suggest using the expression "authorised deductions", that is closer to the original.

According to this website, "letiltás" includes contributions as well:

Attachment of earnings:
An Attachment of Earnings Order is a payment order set by a judge at the County Court.
It can only be issued if you are employed and owe more than £50 to your creditors. The Attachment of Earnings Order lasts until the debt is satisfied in full.
An Attachment of Earnings Order is awarded to a creditor when previous payment agreements have failed. It is presented to your employer and they are bound to deduct the payment from your wages then send the money to the court.
So it relates to debt only.
On the other hand, deductions include contributions as well.
If my Hungarian source is not correct, then obviously it is a different matter.

: "Letiltás", like you said, is a form of "deduction" = "levonás". As far as I know, "letiltás" in UK English is "attachment of earnings" http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1971/32 /in US English "(wage) garnishment"/
