Does anyone know about labor laws in Texas?

Does anyone know about labor laws in Texas?

My boss keeps taking off for conventions, vacations, etc. When he takes off the office shuts down (he is a doctor). This means our paychecks are very short when he does this. My last bi-monthly paycheck had 50 hours on it! I do make more alot more than minimum wage, but this cut in my paycheck really hurts my monthy bills. He never offers to pay us for the days he takes off or simply to let us come in and work on those days (cleaning the office, organizing, catching up on things). Is there any law that says that he had to compensate staff for taking personal days off?
