Important disclaimer: The sample policies and forms available in this Appendix, and in the book Texas Guidebook for Employers in general, are only examples and are furnished merely as illustrations of their categories. They are not meant to be taken and used without consultation with a licensed employment law attorney. If you are in need of a policy for a particular situation, you should keep in mind that any sample policy or form such as the ones available here would need to be reviewed, and possibly modified, by an employment law attorney in order to ensure that it fits your situation and complies with the laws of Texas or your other state or states of operation. Downloading, printing, distributing, reproducing, or using any policy or form in this book in any manner constitutes your agreement that you understand this disclaimer; that you will not use the policy or form for your company or individual situation without first having it approved and, if necessary, modified by an employment law attorney of your choice; and that if you use it without such consultation, you assume any risks associated with its use.
Again, it is not recommended to simply adopt these sample policies and forms for your situation without first seeking the advice of an employment law attorney. There is almost an infinite variety of policies and forms for various kinds of workplaces and different kinds of situations. Moreover, the laws vary widely from state to state in some areas of employee relations. Thus, it is very important to make sure that what you have in your policy handbook and what you have employees sign not only truly meets your needs, but also complies with Texas and federal laws, as well as the laws of any other states in which your company operates.
