Issues with benefit plans and pension payments arise both upon hiring an employee and when they leave the job. Texas's laws specifically govern the manner in which employers implement health plans and retirement pension payments. Recipients of such benefit plans can file claims using these laws.

The employer sometimes pays for benefit plans, but at times the employee must make a voluntary contribution. Additionally, some employees establish a requirement that employees work with them for a certain period of time before they are eligible for benefits. Under Texas law, employers who provide employees with medical plans owe them specific legal duties. For example, they must disclose important health plan information, and employees must be provided with a fair process when reviewing their claims according to the plan.

What Employee Benefits are Protected by Texas law?

For employees who lost their jobs, there are some laws that allow them to continue the health care plan they had with their previous employer while they actively look for a new job. Baytown employers also owe legal duties to those given pension programs. First, they are legally bound to provide the benefits that were promised under a set benefit plan.
