Author: Cory Halliburton, Weycer, Kaplan, Pulaski & Zuber, P.C.

Summary

  • Texas has many exemptions to state minimum wage requirements. See Minimum Wage Exemptions.
  • Texas has no overtime requirements; as a result, there are no overtime exemptions and federal overtime requirements will typically apply.
  • Careful attention should be given to employee job descriptions and classifications so as to comply with Texas' minimum wage requirements and to utilize exemptions where possible.
