Nothing in this subsection is intended to prevent an employee from authorizing deductions from the earnings of the employee if the authorization is revocable.

      (3) For the purpose of this section, a sale of unpaid earnings made in consideration of the payment of money to or for the account of the seller of the earnings is considered a loan to the seller, secured by an assignment of earnings.
