Amends TCA Title 30 and Title 31.
Tennessee HB0755 amends existing law regarding the payment of wages or compensation owed to deceased employees by requiring employers to pay these amounts directly to the surviving spouse or, if none exists, to the surviving children as tenants in common. The bill also allows payments to be made to a trust for the benefit of the spouse or children as an alternative. Key provisions include the removal of previous stipulations regarding beneficiary designation and the handling of payments exceeding $10,000, which must still be directed to a personal representative or as ordered by the court.
