Everything’s bigger in Texas – including employer liability.
As a Texas employer, you don’t just have to comply with federal employment laws, such as the Civil Rights Act and Fair Labor Standards Act. You must also follow state laws on everything from workers’ compensation to whistle-blowing. And several cities and towns get into the act, too. Each wants to control some aspect of how you run your business and treat your employees. For example …
- Did you calculate your unemployment taxes correctly? Check those figures again because the Texas Workforce Commission is looking for every penny. Recent raids have yielded $1.8 million in back taxes.
- Don’t think gay employees have protections in Texas? Think again. At least five Texas cities have laws prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation.
- Has your organization opted out of the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act? Better know when and how to tell employees about it.
Unlike federal lawsuits, the sky’s the limit on state-court damages. Plus, even if you win a lawsuit, legal fees could still run you $10,000 or more.
Protect yourself for less than 50¢ a day: Subscribe to HR Specialist: Texas Employment Law now to protect your business – and your home and personal bank account – from Texas’s ferocious attorneys and famously pro-employee juries.
Stop worrying that even small problems with HR practices, policies or pay could blow your business apart: Texas Employment Law gives Texas employers the confidence to hire, fire, discipline, review, promote, supervise and classify employees – without giving aggressive lawyers the chance to launch million-dollar lawsuits over discrimination, harassment, wage law, negligence or personal liability.
The service includes a monthly print newsletter … HR Legal Alerts (e-mailed any time action is required to protect against new Texas employment law threats) ... plus access to practical employment law advice available exclusively on the HR Specialist web site.
