Texas HB669 creates a database of employers penalized for wage theft or convicted of related offenses.

Texas HB669 amends the Labor Code to mandate the Texas Workforce Commission to maintain a publicly accessible database of employers penalized for wage theft or convicted of related offenses. The database will include employers assessed administrative penalties, those ordered to pay wages but failing to comply, and those convicted of wage theft offenses. Employers can dispute their inclusion in the database, and the commission must investigate and make a final determination. The database will list employers until three years after the penalty assessment or conviction.
