Quick answer. Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development's list gives Tennessee employers four state posters for most workplaces (safety and health, unemployment insurance, child labor and workers' compensation). Add the federal posters for the laws that cover you. Each one is a free download from the agency.
What Tennessee's own list says
Tennessee's Department of Labor and Workforce Development says "Employers are required by law to share information with their employees" and that posters "should be posted in a prominent place where employees have access," with Spanish versions for Spanish-speaking workforces.

- The Department also lists four posters as recommended but not required: the human trafficking hotline, Right to Work, Drug-Free Workplace (apply before posting) and Fraud Free Workplace. We leave them out of the checklist.
- Spanish versions of all four state posters are on the same page, under "If You Have Spanish-Speaking Employees."
