HB 24
AN ACT relating to employment schedules.
In Plain Language
This bill requires employers to give workers a written estimate of their work schedule, post schedules at least a week in advance, and pay workers if the employer changes their schedule. It lets workers set limits on when they can work and allows employers to maintain a list of workers willing to pick up extra shifts. Employers who violate these rules face penalties.
Official summary
Create new sections of KRS Chapter 337 to require employers to give employees a good-faith estimate of the employee's work schedule, maintain a voluntary standby list of employees who wish to work additional hours, post weekly schedules at least 7 days in advance, and provide certain rest periods for employees from being scheduled; allow employees to identify time limitations for scheduling work hours; require compensation for employer changes to the schedule; set forth unlawful practices; amend KRS 337.990 to establish a penalty for violations.
