 Texas Payday Law - Online Version with Commentary
Interpretation of federal employment laws is not uniform throughout the country; indeed, federal courts and federal agencies often disagree on both major and minor points under various laws.
Because interpretation of laws is not uniform, and because each case must be decided on an individual basis, it is not always safe to assume that a particular case will result in a particular outcome.
Users should be aware that the only official version of the Texas Payday Law is found in the Texas Labor Code, Chapter 61, which may be found in most public and law school libraries and in a "semi-official" version on the Internet at www.capitol.state.tx.us/statutes/la/la0006100toc.html.

 Columbia Law : Labor and Employment Law
Because employment relations are simultaneously contractual and hierarchical, they impolicate significant legal and philosophical questions about consent, power, and participation.
And because society claims a substantial stake in the fairness of employment relations (and their termination), employment cases have come to comprise a substantial portion of state and federal court dockets.
The burgeoning law governing labor and employment relations has recently come under growing pressure and criticism in light of heightened international competition, greater mobility of capital and labor, the development of more fluuid and flexible economic enterprises, greater complexity in the dynamics causing workplace inequality, and the declining reach of traditional unions and collective bargaining.
