Texas follows federal FLSA standards closely with few state additions. The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) enforces wage claims but the state has no additional overtime, mandatory break, or predictive scheduling laws beyond federal requirements.
Texas has adopted the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour. There is no state-level higher minimum wage. Tip credits are allowed: employers may pay tipped employees $2.13/hour provided tips bring total compensation to at least $7.25/hour.
How ClockIt Helps
ClockIt validates tip credit calculations, ensuring tipped employee effective hourly rates meet the $7.25 FLSA minimum, and automatically triggers a make-up pay code if tips fall short.
The Texas Payday Law requires all employers to establish regular paydays (at least twice monthly for most employees, or monthly for exempt employees). Employers must notify employees of the paycheck date and location. Final wages upon termination are due by the next regular payday.
How ClockIt Helps
ClockIt tracks payroll schedule adherence and generates final pay calculations on the termination date so they're ready for the next regular payday as required by TWC.
Texas applies the federal FLSA: non-exempt employees must receive 1.5× their regular rate for all hours worked over 40 in a single workweek. Texas does not impose daily overtime thresholds. Certain agricultural and commissioned sales employees may be exempt.
How ClockIt Helps
ClockIt automatically calculates weekly FLSA overtime, handles blended rate calculations for employees working multiple pay rates in the same week, and flags FLSA exemption status on each employee record.
Never worry about missing an overtime threshold, break penalty, or leave entitlement again.
