EMPLOYMENT LAW

There is a common misunderstanding that because Texas is an “at-will” employment state, employers are allowed to terminate anyone at any time. While this is partially true, employers are not allowed to terminate your employment based on your race, religion, sex, or national origin. Texas employers can and should be liable under Title VII if they fire anyone based on the above characteristics. It is also illegal for Texas employers to retaliate against any of its employees for:
  • filing or being a witness in an charge, complaint, investigation, or lawsuit;
  • communicating with a supervisor or manager about employment discrimination, including harassment;
  • answering questions during an employer investigation of alleged harassment;
  • refusing to follow orders that would result in discrimination;
  • resisting sexual advances, or intervening to protect others;
  • requesting accommodation of a disability or for a religious practice; and
  • asking managers or co-workers about salary information to uncover potentially discriminatory wages.

Finally, Texas employers have to follow strict guidelines in the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) passed by the Federal government, which mandates that employers pay minimum as well as overtime wages for work performed in excess of 40 hours per week at a rate of at least 1.5 the regular rate of pay.
