Texas Pay Transparency and Equity for Employers of Record
A Texas posting statute was not confirmed. The wage floor is $7.25.
The rule
The DOL table lists Texas at the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. The federal Equal Pay Act still requires equal pay for equal work. This review did not open a Texas statute that requires a pay range in a job posting, so no posting duty is stated as a new fact.
Wording left as it was
This review could not confirm the next point from an official source, so it is unchanged:
Texas has its own rules governing pay transparency.
What employers must do
Do not publish a wage under $7.25. Do not add a state posting rule you have not confirmed. Follow the federal equal-pay duty.
Effective dates
The $7.25 rate has been in place since July 24, 2009. No January 1, 2027 Texas posting statute was confirmed.
What this means for BOSS partners and associates
BOSS is often the employer of record for the associate. Wage, break, leave, posting, and tax rules usually follow the state where the associate works. Tell BOSS that state before the assignment starts. Associates should record every hour worked on the timesheet. Do not promise a pay practice, a leave bank, or a posting the statute does not require.
