Federal Law Protects Military

Troops Called to Duty Protected by Military Deployment Discrimination Law

The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) reminds individuals and employers that Texas and federal laws protect the employment rights of military service members who are part of recent deployments of Texas National Guard or other military deployments. These laws are designed to prevent discriminatory practices due to implementation such as withholding health or pension benefits, termination or other adverse actions affecting promotions, seniority or pay.
