Frequently asked questions

Do I need workers' comp in Texas?

Workers' comp is optional in Texas, but you must notify employees in writing if you don't carry coverage (DWC Form-005). Without it, you lose certain legal protections against employee injury lawsuits.

When do I have to pay a terminated employee in Texas?

If fired, final pay is due within 6 calendar days. If the employee quits, final pay is due by the next regular payday.
