Description
Own the Definitive Guide to Tennessee and Federal Model Policies and Forms.
This model employee policies and forms manual was compiled specifically for the Tennessee employer. It contains sample policies and forms reflecting the federal and Tennessee laws and regulations that need to be considered when preparing your policy manual.
We are proud to have partnered with the authors, from the law firm of Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. This handbook is a product of their many years’ experience and, thereby, provides you, the Tennessee employer, with access to their knowledge and expertise. The authors have expended considerable time in preparing the materials contained in the handbook in an effort to make the material easy‑to‑read, easy‑to‑use, and readily understandable.
It is our sincere hope that this handbook will fulfill the purpose for which it was published by providing you with the resources and guidance you require in preparing and implementing your own employee policy manual.

An employer-employee relationship starts with employment policies and procedures that are clear, accessible and well-publicized. At the same time, changes in employment law can create uncertainty and add complexity to this vital relationship. Thus, all employment policies should strive to be flexible yet compliant, adaptable and practical. A well-written employee handbook that adapts to the ever-changing employment laws can assist in achieving all of that.
In creating and updating this edition, we endeavored to create a user-friendly guide that considered these principles. We also considered and implemented significant legal requirements and practical employee relations issues every Tennessee employer should consider before implementing, updating or deleting any personnel policy. We hope you will agree that Tennessee employers deserve a reference guide like Model Policies and Forms for Tennessee Employers that appreciates the unique nature and scope of Tennessee’s employment laws and is not a one-size-fits-all (or out-of-state) employee handbook reference guide. We also hope that by using both the sample policies and legal concepts provided, you will emerge with a complete understanding of the complexities of the employment relationship in Tennessee.
