This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis LLP discusses a recently enacted Tennessee law (H.B. 501) that restricts local governments from requiring certain employers to pay a minimum wage or prevailing wage higher than the minimum wage or prevailing wage required by applicable state or federal law. Among other things, H.B. 501 also restricts local governments from requiring certain employers to provide greater leave policies or health insurance benefits to employers than required by applicable state or federal law, and prohibits local governments from adopting or maintaining laws addressing wage theft.
