Summary of differences between federal and state regulations

Employer defined

“Employer” includes any person acting in the interest of any employer directly or indirectly, and includes the state of Tennessee but not its political subdivisions.

Unlawful employment practices

The unlawful employment practices regarding wage discrimination are substantially similar to those under the federal Equal Pay Act. For example, the state law provides exemptions for wage differentials based on a seniority system or a merit system, as long as the differential is not based on sex.
