TWC Commissioner Representing Employers Joe Esparza commented, “Texas employers are poised to thrive and expand in 2024. As they gain momentum, I encourage them to take advantage of these learning opportunities and equip themselves with new and updated information about state and federal employment laws and the unemployment process.”
Every Texas employer is urged to attend annually to acquire current, relevant information about legal issues associated with operating a business in the state. Geared toward small business owners, HR managers and assistants, payroll managers, and those responsible for hiring and managing employees, the topics are carefully selected based on common inquiries received by TWC from employers.
