Service of any demand without complying with this Section has no legal effect. Proof of certified mail is prima facie evidence of service. A demand under this Section applies only to wages due at the time of service of the demand and upon subsequent wages until the total amount due under the assignment is paid, or, if the wage assignment is revocable under federal law, until the employee revokes it.
