San Antonio Paid Sick Leave

On March 10, 2021, the Texas Fourth Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court of Bexar County’s entry of a temporary injunction preventing the City of San Antonio’s Sick and Safe Leave ordinance from taking effect. The appellate court reasoned that San Antonio’s ordinance was preempted by the Texas Minimum Wage Act and therefore unconstitutional.The City of San Antonio has not yet indicated whether it will seek to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court of Texas.

As it stands, the paid sick leave ordinances in Austin, Dallas and San Antonio are enjoined as they have been found to be unconstitutional and employers are not required to comply with the ordinances at this time.
