When dealing with an unscrupulous employer, Tennesseans often wonder where to seek help. Many may not realize that Tennessee employment law is robust and effective. Discovering employer dishonesty, rights abuse, or wage issues can cause stress, affecting home life and well-being. Fortunately, Tennessee employment law provides options for resolution.

Tennessee Employment Law is Here to Help and Protect You

The first thing to understand is you don’t have to “put up with it.” If you have a problem at work that is important to you, then it should be equally important to your employer as well.

Both you and your employer have rights. You might have heard your employer can fire you at any time and for any reason, and not have to provide severance pay.

However, that doesn’t tell the whole story.

Your employer may not fire you in retaliation. For example, if you are in the military reserve, you can’t be fired for attending your mandatory drill meetings. You also can’t be fired for:

• Filing a worker’s compensation claim
• Speaking to union representation
• Reporting your employer for violation of any of the employment laws of Tennessee
