Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas
Bought company, can I fire people
We have purchased a business, can I fire the managers or employees, if I want
to now manage it, or do I need just cause? I do not want to get stuck with a
workers comp claim.

Re: Bought company, can I fire people
You can terminate any employee "at will," for any reason you wish, or no reason, as long as you do not breach any contract or do so for a motivation that violates applicable state or federal statutes. You need to discuss this situation with an experienced employment law attorney.
