See here's where I could see an issue crop up... Lets say during orientation they say nothing about their gun policy and theres nothing in the handbook but 4 months down the road youve been working there and carrying everyday and its discovered that you are carrying and you get fired. You could argue that they never mentioned it in orientation and all theyd have to do is say "yes we did". who's side would the employer take... their HR dept or some employee who's been working there for 4 months. i think the whole "verbal" notification needs to be taken out as a legal notification. It should be written down somewhere. that way there'd be no confusion about yes i said it vs. no you didn't even if they never verbally said it.
You're comparing apples and oranges.

30.06 has to do with notice for the purpose of criminal trespass.

You can be fired for any reason, or no reason at all, no matter what the handbook says.

Two completely different subjects.

Just to make sure I'm remembering the code correctly, if the property owner or someone given authority by the owner, which I assume could be an HR manager, simply tells you "No guns allowed" then that counts as proper notification, right? That is, assuming it isn't someplace where carry can't be prohibited like a city or county owned park.
That is correct, if they TELL you. If they provide written notice (like putting it in the employee handbook) then it MUST use the wording in TPC 30.06.
