Comp and Benefits

TCRSTSEA’s Employee Compensation and Benefits staff work closely with members to resolve  problems involving pay, classification, overtime, compensatory time, insurance benefits, worker’s compensation, retirement/pre-retirement counseling, all types of attendance and leave issues, sick leave bank benefits, working out-of-class appeals, and any other work-related benefits.

Our Comp and Benefits staff attends meetings of the State Group Insurance Committee, Council on Pensions and Insurance, Sick Leave Bank Board of Trustees and TCRS Board of Trustees on behalf of our members.

Beginning August 1 through the end of October employees may join the Sick Leave Bank.  All that is required is you must have worked 12 months prior to submitting your application and have at least six days of sick leave by 10/31.  Here is the link to join the SLB online: https://slbenroll.dohr.tn.gov/
