                                                PREMIUM RATE               INFORMATION 
 
 New employers   in Tennessee              are initially subject     to a “new employer”  rate   until their account has been subject to 
 premiums and         chargeable      with benefits for thirty-six consecutive  months   ending   on the computation date    (December   31 
 of each year). They then become eligible, beginning on               the next July 1,   for a   premium rate based on their individual   
 reserve experience. 
 
 New employer rates             are determined separately for each    major industry group based  on the     combined   reserve experience 
 of each industry group as   a whole.  Presently, all industries, starting July 1, 2021, have   a new employer rate           of   2.7%.  
 The new       employer      rates  for construction, mining, and manufacturing, for prior years,      are listed below.
