Additional Texas rules

• Texas has no state income tax (federal tax still applies).
• No state minimum wage above the federal $7.25 floor.
• Texas is an 'at-will' employment state, like most of the US.
• No state-mandated paid sick, family, or vacation leave.

US employment law is primarily federal (FLSA, FMLA, NLRA, Title VII). States add their own rules on top. This page highlights the state-specific additions that matter most for an HR system.

2026 holidays

Observed dates may shift when a holiday falls on a weekend. US private-sector employers are not federally required to give paid time off for holidays — these are the dates commonly observed.
