What Labor Law Posters Are Required in Tennessee for 2026?
Tennessee requires five state labor law posters for 2026. Four apply to every employer. The fifth, the Employment Anti-Discrimination poster, applies to employers with 8 or more employees. This one is easy to miss because it comes from a different agency than the other four.
Spanish versions of all four main posters are required if you have Spanish-speaking employees. A Korean version of the Workers' Compensation poster is also available.
Beyond the required set, Tennessee has three optional posters, a Title VI poster for organizations receiving federal funding, and a housing discrimination poster required for the housing industry.
ePoster keeps all of these current in one dashboard. Your employees get access. You get proof they saw them.
The 5 Required Tennessee Posters
1. TOSHA Safety and Health - Tennessee's version of the OSHA poster. Covers workplace safety rights, how to file complaints, and how to report emergencies. Required for all employers. Last revised 03/2016.
2. Unemployment Insurance - Covers eligibility, how to file claims, and weekly work search requirements. Updated September 2024 to change work search from three to four activities per week.
3. Wage Regulation and Child Labor - Covers pay frequency requirements and work hour restrictions for minors. Updated May 2024 with revised child labor information.
4. Workers' Compensation - Fillable poster. You need to add your insurance carrier name, address, phone number, and employer contact. Also available in Korean and Spanish.
5. Employment Anti-Discrimination (8+ employees) - Required under the Tennessee Human Rights Act. Bilingual (English/Spanish). The Tennessee Human Rights Commission was dissolved June 30, 2025. Enforcement moved to the Attorney General's Civil Rights Enforcement Division (CRED). The poster requirement still applies. An updated version with CRED contact info is expected.
Required if you have Spanish-speaking employees. Workers' Comp also in Korean.
Additional and Optional Posters
Right to Work - Not required. Tennessee is a right-to-work state but there is no mandate to post this notice.
Drug Free Workplace - You must apply to the Drug-Free Workplace Program before posting. The program gives a workers' comp premium discount. Posting without enrollment does not count.
Fraud Free Workplace - Not required. Informational poster about workers' comp fraud reporting.
Title VI Nondiscrimination- For organizations receiving federal or state funding. Display where clients or the public can see it. Enforcement moved from THRC to the Department of Human Resources (DOHR) as of July 1, 2025
One More Required Poster That Is Hard to Find
The Discrimination in Housing poster is required for the housing sale and rental industry. This includes real estate brokers, salespeople, landlords, property managers, financial institutions, and developers involved in housing transactions.
Here is the problem. The Tennessee Human Rights Commission hosted this poster on their website. The THRC was dissolved in 2025 and the website was taken down. The Civil Rights Enforcement Division (CRED) inherited enforcement but has not published an updated poster. The law requiring the poster is still on the books. As of early 2026, no compliance vendor has released an updated version either.
We located and archived the most recent version (revised 07/2022). You can download it and read the full breakdown on our resource page below.

No. Tennessee does not have a state minimum wage. The federal FLSA poster covers minimum wage and is a separate federal requirement.

Tennessee requires posters in a place where employees can see them. For remote workers, digital access through a poster link or dashboard is a good-faith effort. ePoster provides a unique URL for each employee.
