In Texas, employers are required to pay their employees at least twice per month, with no more than 31 days between pay periods. If an employer agrees to pay employees on a weekly, bi-weekly, or semi-monthly basis, they must do so in accordance with their agreement.
Employers in Texas are also required to pay their employees at least minimum wage, which is currently $7.25 per hour. However, some cities and counties in Texas have implemented higher minimum wage rates, so it’s important to check the local laws in your area.
In addition to minimum wage, Texas employers must also comply with federal laws regarding overtime pay. Employees who work more than 40 hours in a workweek must be paid at a rate of one and a half times their regular hourly rate for each hour worked over 40.
Employers in Texas are required to provide employees with a paystub that shows their gross earnings, any deductions, and their net pay. Employers must also keep accurate records of employee hours worked, wages paid, and deductions made.
If an employer fails to pay employees in accordance with Texas payday laws, employees may file a wage claim with the Texas Workforce Commission. Employers who violate Texas payday laws may be subject to penalties and fines.
