Amends TCA Title 8; Title 15; Title 50 and Title 58.

This bill requires an employer to allow the employer's veteran employees to have the entirety of November 11, Veterans' Day, as a non-paid holiday if: (1) The veteran employee provides the employer with at least one-month's written notice of the veteran employee's intent to have the entirety of that day as a non-paid holiday; (2) The veteran employee provides the employer with proof of veteran status, which may include, but is not limited to, a DD Form 214 or other comparable certificate of discharge from the armed forces; and (3) The veteran employee's absence, either alone or in combination with other veteran employee's absences, on that day will not impact public health or safety, or cause the employer significant economic or operational disruption as determined by the department of labor and workforce development by rule. This bill specifies that it does not prohibit an employer from allowing the employer's veteran employees to have the entirety of Veterans Day as a paid holiday. This bill defines "veteran" as a former member of the armed forces of the United States, or a former or current member of a reserve or Tennessee national guard unit who was called into active military service of the United States. ON APRIL 4, 2022, THE HOUSE ADOPTED AMENDMENT #1 AND PASSED HOUSE BILL 2733, AS AMENDED. AMENDMENT #1 removes references to the department of labor and workforce development from this bill. Under this amendment, the veteran's employer will have sole discretion to determine wither the veteran employee's absence on the holiday, either alone or in combination with other veteran employee's absences, will impact public health or safety, or cause the employer significant economic or operational disruption.
