Tennessee’s Workers’ Comp Exemption For Farming
Tennessee’s workers’ comp laws do not mandate workers’ compensation insurance for employers of farming and agricultural workers. Due to this exemption, such workers only have workers’ compensation coverage if their employer has voluntarily elected to offer it.
Does Florida Have This Exemption, Too?
No, Florida does not. Rather, it requires all farming and agricultural employers with at least five regular employees or 12 seasonal workers to carry workers’ compensation insurance.
