GOVERNOR
Dear Texas Employer:
Here in Texas, we have created an environment where employers are free to grow, prosper, and create jobs. Employers are adding thousands of new jobs each month, and Site Selection Magazine recently named Texas as the state with the number one business climate in the nation. Businesses choose Texas because the word is out that taxes are low, the workforce is skilled, and we are wide open for business and job creation.
Even in this favorable climate, today's business environment is complex. Every employer must learn how to adopt and implement real world strategies to avoid costly pitfalls when operating their business and managing employees. Especially for Texas Employers has been written to explain the sometimes confusing "legalese" of federal and state employment law in easy to understand language that makes sense in the everyday business setting. This publication is an effort to bring you the kind of information and assistance that you can use on a daily basis, and which you as a taxpayer deserve.
Thank you for your hard work, for everything that you do to contribute to the quality of life we enjoy here, and for providing good jobs for Texas workers. Your efforts are contributing to our ever expanding economy, meaning we will continue to remain competitive in an increasingly global marketplace. I hope that you will find this publication to be helpful, and wish you every success with your business.
