Tennessee - State Unemployment Insurance

Tennessee is a hybrid state wherein all customers are subject to the Justworks' tax rate, but have individual account numbers associated with Justworks. Here are the steps to open an account.

• Complete LB-0910, Application for Client Number. You'll need to reach out to our Customer Success team in order to get a copy of the application that's pre-filled with Justworks information.
  
  • Fill out the entire form as it is applicable for your business
  • For #6, all responses should reflect what is true for the employer while on the Justworks platform, and not before, even if you already have TN employees
    In effect, the questions should read:
    • A. Number of workers your client has employed (will employ) in TN on Justworks
    • B. Date your client first employed (will employ) a worker in TN on Justworks → If you are new to TN, answer normally.  If you already have TN employees upon joining Justworks, enter the day of your effective date with Justworks -- do not enter the earliest hire date of your existing employee(s) 
    • C.Date your client first paid (will pay) a worker in Tennessee on Justworks → Similar to B.  If you are new to TN, answer normally.  If you already have TN employees upon joining Justworks, enter the day of your effective date with Justworks
