Workers Compensation - As enacted, requires an employer to report to the bureau of workers’ compensation each accident that results in a work-related death or personal injury within 14 calendar days of the date the employer is notified of the accident or has knowledge of the accident, whichever is earlier, instead of reporting accidents at different intervals based upon the nature of the injury and whether the injured employee is able to return within seven days of the accident; and makes other changes relative to workers’ compensation. - Amends TCA Section 50-3-702; Title 50, Chapter 6 and Chapter 189 of the Public Acts of 2021.
