Considerations for Texas Employers as the State Begins to Reopen

TX

Highlights

The Texas Department of State Health Services has issued numerous protocols, which are minimum requirements businesses must meet as they reopen or expand 

Employers should consider developing a checklist for handling a situation where an employee informs the employer that they have symptoms, have been diagnosed or have a family member who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 

As employers start to reopen or plan for reopening, some are considering “informed consent/liability waiver” notices


As Texas eases pandemic-related restrictions, employers face a number of issues concerning reopening or expanding their business operations. This includes bringing employees back into the workplace after they have been working remotely or were furloughed, navigating state and local COVID-19 orders and ensuring that adequate health and wellness safeguards are in the place for customers and employees.
