The Texas Payday Law requires their employers to give wages to their employees, on time, in full, and on set paydays. The law also tells the employers how and when they can pay wages. This particular law also aids the employees a lot who didn’t receive their wages correctly.
The TWC which stands for Texas Workforce Commission suggests talking with the employer first before filing any sort of wage claim against them.
Conditions
If an employee believes that they are owed wages then they need to file a wage claim right within 180 days – from the original date, when they were set to receive their salary.
If it so happens that the employer has filed for bankruptcy then the TWC would not be able to investigate the claim. In this situation, the employee would need to file directly with the concerned Bankruptcy Court.
Payments That Are Subject To This Law
The Payday Law applies to a wide variety of payment types. They also include:
- the bonuses and commissions in accordance with the agreement between the employer and the employee
- a few fringe benefits that are required by the employer’s policy or through the medium of an agreement with the concerned employee
- a compensation for the provided services no matter how they get calculated
