Tennessee UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE FOR EMPLOYEES Labor Law Poster

[laborlaw]

Your employer provides insurance to help protect you when you become unemployed through no fault of your own. Tennessee employers pay the full cost of unemployment insurance for their employees. Nothing is deducted from your pay to cover the cost of this insurance nor does any money come from State of Tennessee funds.

If you become unemployed you may file for benefits through your local Department of Labor and Workforce Development office or Career Center.
Additionally, in some areas of Tennessee, claims may be filed by telephone. Call 1-800-576-3467 to check if this option is available in your area.

If you are still employed, but working less than full-time because your employer schedules you for fewer hours of work in a week, you may be eligible for partial unemployment benefits. Ask your employer to file a claim for you. If your employer cannot file a claim for you, contact your nearest Labor and Workforce Development claims office.

To be eligible for unemployment benefits you must be separated from employment through no fault of your own and be able, available, and making a reasonable effort to seek suitable work.

The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development has staff available to help you find a job or pursue training opportunities.
