Outcome
Appellate court reversed the dismissal of a former state employee's claim for holiday pay, finding that sovereign immunity did not bar the suit regarding compensation for a shifted state holiday.
Excerpt
A former state employee filed suit claiming that he should have been paid for the state holiday on November 27, 2015, because he worked on October 12, 2015, the day from which the holiday was shifted pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 4-4-105(a)(3). His position was terminated before the November 27, 2015 holiday occurred. The general sessions and circuit courts granted the Department of General Services Commissioner's motion to dismiss based on sovereign immunity. We reverse.
