Social Media Policy for Businesses

September 20, 2024 | Structure Law Group, LLP

No matter what size Texas business you run, social media has become critical for brand visibility, customer engagement, and market insight. Compared to traditional advertising channels, social media is a cost-effective marketing tool that builds brand loyalty, targets specific audiences, and provides a platform for direct customer interaction, which drives sales and growth.

Social media is essential for staying competitive in today’s digital landscape, and companies need a social strategy. This includes figuring out how your business should use social media to promote its goods and services. It also means establishing the right social media policy for your employees.

Many Texas employers are uncertain of their rights when regulating employees’ social media use. Indeed, there are a number of potential traps that an uninformed employer may fall into when attempting to come up with a consistent set of rules. A qualified Structure Law Group Texas employment attorney can assist you in drafting, reviewing, and revising a social media policy that can work for both management and your employees.

Terminating an Employee in Texas

May 10, 2024 | Structure Law Group, LLP

Texas is an at-will employment state, meaning at-will employees may be terminated at any time for any reason, as long as it is not an illegal reason when the decision is in the best interest of an employer. Terminating employees is rarely an easy decision, and any business struggling with employment decisions should work with an Austin employment lawyer.

The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) notes that no advance notice of termination or resignation is necessary, but when advance notice of resignation is given, it may be accepted, rejected, or modified by an employer. When a notice period is rejected, an employer does not have to pay for the time not worked by an employee since the duty to pay ends on the date a work separation becomes effective.
