Walking past or ignoring the sign is a Class C misdemeanor, only when you do not immediately leave when told to do so is it a Class A misdemeanor. So I believe it would be a Class C if the employee left when told to do so or if he did not loose his job it may be considered a Class A if the employee returned and still was carrying. The employee may become unemployed, but the employer would not be very smart if this was not in writing instead of just oral.
If it can be shown at trial that he refused to leave after having been given 30.06 or 30.07 notice as per Subsection (c) of those Sections. Returning later with a gun after having been orally notified would certainly be considered refusing to leave at trial.

(d) An offense under this section is a Class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $200, except that the offense is a Class A misdemeanor if it is shown on the trial of the offense that, after entering the property, the license holder was personally given the notice by oral communication described by Subsection (b) and subsequently failed to depart.
A good DA would be able to make the case that he was orally notified and that any time he comes onto the premises with a concealed handgun, he has failed to depart after having been orally notified. Simple matter though. If the OP is caught, his manager (or someone with apparent authority) just has to say "get out now, you know that guns aren't allowed here" and then it would certainly be a Class A if he doesn't leave immediately.
The law is quite clear: AFTER ENTERING THE PROPERTY(with a handgun), if the person is given oral notification and fails to depart, then they risk losing license with Class A charge. Until then, they face a Class C charge, if it can be proven they were indeed given notification.
