The state of Texas follows the federal labor laws, and has not adopted any of their own as some other states have done. According to Texas overtime laws, employers are required to pay their employees overtime pay for hours worked over forty hours a week. Texas overtime laws require that overtime pay should be no less than one and one-half times the employeeâs regular rate of pay. The only employees that should not receive overtime pay are those that are exempt. Texas follows the federal laws regarding exempt employees. Exempt employees are strictly defined by the Department of Labor and include employees such as executives, professionals, teachers and certain commissioned positions.
Pay Agreements. Federal and state laws leave it largely up to employers and employees to work out what the pay or compensation agreement will be. Employers must take care to stick to what the employees have been promised in the way of pay methods and pay rates.t is generally permissible to have the employee agree that in the event of a violation of an agreement or policy, his or her pay rate for the final pay period will be a lower rate (it can be no lower than minimum wage).
