Texas labor laws are complex, particularly due to the state's employment-at-will doctrine, which allows employers to terminate employees for any reason or no reason.
Navigating employment law in Texas is complex, largely due to the state’s strict employment-at-will doctrine .
“One common issue we deal with in Texas is the employment-at-will doctrine,” explains Rosenberg. “This doctrine often gets confused with the concept of Texas being a right-to-work state, though the two are entirely different. Employment-at-will means an employer can terminate an employee for good reason, bad reason, or no reason at all.”
“In such cases, the employee is generally left without a remedy because Texas law does not require employers to treat employees or prospective employees fairly unless there is an express agreement,” he notes.Physician assistant offered job at Texas Children’s Hospital, was told there was a hiring freeze after relocating
“If an employer is unwilling to provide such an agreement, it should be a red flag for the employee,” advises Rosenberg. “Prospective employees need to ensure that there is some form of written assurance that their job will not be retracted, especially if they are giving up something significant to take the new position.”
