Texas is considered a “right to work” state, meaning contracts aren't required, and the state doesn't put many legal requirements on employment relationships. Still, employers are increasingly using employment contracts across all industries and professions.
Here are some steps you may use to guide you when you write an employment contract: Title the employment contract. Identify the parties. List the term and conditions. Outline the job responsibilities. Include compensation details. Use specific contract terms. Consult with an employment lawyer.
Employee leasing is an arrangement between a business and a staffing firm, who supplies workers on a project-specific or temporary basis. These employees work for the client business, but the leasing agency pays their salaries and handles all of the HR administration associated with their employment.
While leased employees are legally employed by a PEO, they work under the day-to-day management and supervision of the leasing business — much like any other employee.

A PEO, or professional employer organization, has a different relationship with client companies. Instead of being a firm that leases employees to their clients, a PEO becomes an employer of record for the client's employees. This is known as a co-employment agreement.
Drawbacks of employee leasing Less control: One of the greatest risks of employee leasing is that you're delegating an important part of your business to an outside company that doesn't know your business as well as you do. You lose control of your processes, systems and benefits.
Employment or employee contracts are typically formal, legally binding written documents that specify the terms and conditions of an employment relationship. They often include clauses regarding confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, and termination clauses.
Texas law does not require employment contracts. As a “right to work” state, Texas does not put many legal limits on employment relationships. An “at will” employee can leave their job at any time and for any reason.
