  • Other factors are considered under Tennessee's workers' compensation law. See Workers' Compensation.
  • Certain workers known as marketplace contractors will be considered independent contractors for all purposes under state and local laws, rules, ordinances and resolutions - including the workers' compensation and unemployment insurance laws - if certain conditions are met.
