Protect Your Rights as an Employee in Tennessee
Alan G. Crone, former founder of The Crone Law Firm, is now Partner at Barrett & Farahany. Whether heâs helping achieve a business dream or seeking compensation for someone whoâs been treated unfairly, he draws from a deep well of compassion and experience. Heâs a master at devising winning strategies and innovative tactics.
Sometimes the only thing to do is file a lawsuit and fight it out in court. And other times itâs better to negotiate a settlement. Either way, Alan knows how to get the best outcome.
A fifth generation Memphian, he is a voracious reader and semi-avid golfer. He has been active in local and state politics for decades. He is the former head of the Shelby County Republican Party and Special Counsel to the Mayor of Memphis.
Alan is also the very proud father of 3 children and is devoted to his wife Allison.
We are pleased to welcome Alan and the rest of his team to the firm to add to our Nationwide services to those seeking justice at work.

Know Your Rights Under Tennessee Law
Understanding the specific laws in Tennessee is crucial for protecting your livelihood. Here is a brief overview of key protections:
- At-Will Employment: While Tennessee is an “at-will” state, meaning you can generally be fired for any reason, employers cannot fire you for illegal reasons such as discrimination or retaliation.
- Wages and Overtime: The state follows the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour. Employees are generally entitled to 1.5x their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a week.
- Discrimination Protections: The Tennessee Human Rights Act (THRA) prohibits discrimination based on race, sex, color, religion, age, national origin, and disability.
- Meal Breaks: Employees working 6+ consecutive hours are generally entitled to a 30-minute unpaid meal break.
- Leave Entitlements: Tennessee mandates specific leave for voting (up to 3 hours paid) and maternity leave (up to 4 months unpaid for larger employers), alongside federal FMLA protections.
