Tennessee employment context
HR compliance for Tennessee employers
Tennessee has no harassment prevention training mandate, and its enforcement machinery changed in 2025: the Tennessee Human Rights Commission was dissolved on June 30, 2025, and enforcement of the Tennessee Human Rights Act, which covers employers with 8 or more employees, moved to a new Civil Rights Enforcement Division in the Attorney General’s office. Pending state complaints had to be refiled, and many Knoxville employers now deal with the EEOC’s Memphis District Office as the primary venue. Tennessee produced 2,942 EEOC charge receipts in fiscal year 2025, the ninth-highest state total in the country (EEOC Table E1b, FY 2025, retrieved 2026-07-27). Documented manager training remains the reasonable-care standard federal courts recognize. For Knoxville employers, Catapult’s instructor-led online sessions build exactly that record.
