Tennessee Updates Pay Timing for Commissioned and Piece-Rate Employees
Effective Date: July 1, 2026
Tennessee has clarified wage payment timing requirements for employees paid on a commission or piece-rate basis.
What Changed
Wages earned must be paid no later than the last day of the following month
Final pay for these employees (voluntary or involuntary separation) must also be paid by the last day of the following month
Why This Matters
Establishes a clear statutory deadline for variable compensation
Impacts payroll timing and close processes for commission-based roles
Reduces ambiguity around final paycheck timing for these employees
