Dear HR Executive,
Toe the line on federal employment law, and Texas law could still trip you up:
Toe the line on federal employment law, and Texas law could still trip you up:
|
|
- Allow managers to yell at employees? A Texas jury may find you guilty of inflicting emotional distress.
- Tell a supervisor to fire a worker because money is "disappearing?" Texas juries may slam you personally with a huge defamation suit.
- Forget to check an applicant’s references? A customer can sue you for your employee's criminal misdeeds.
Everything is bigger in Texas, including the awards that juries hand to disgruntled employees and the big-shot lawyers who represent them. Plus, Texas jurors are famously generous to fired employees. And Texas lawyers are notorious for using state laws to sue employers in all kinds of creative ways – even if those employers comply perfectly with the Civil Rights Act and other federal laws.
Make even one little employment law mistake, and your organization could be making the evening news and every newspaper for miles around.
Here’s why: Attorneys used to be satisfied with suing employers under well-defined federal laws like the ADA, FLSA and the Equal Pay Act. But Congress cut the amount of money employees could win in federal cases (and that cut the attorney’s share).
So, to make a bigger haul, lawyers are coming after
Texas employers through state and even local laws.
Texas employers through state and even local laws.
The bad news: Those lawyers can use a mountain of laws against you – with absolutely NO limit on how much a generous jury can award to disgruntled employees. Worse yet: Today’s litigious workers and super-aggressive lawyers aren’t just going after companies – they’re also suing supervisors, managers and HR professionals personally.
That means your bank account, your home and everything else you’ve
worked so hard for is at risk every time you make a decision at work.
