Kentucky overtime law
Kentucky overtime rule
- No daily overtime: Kentucky follows the federal weekly rule.
- Weekly overtime: 1.5x after 40 hours in a workweek.
- Seventh-day rule: All hours worked on the seventh consecutive day in a workweek are paid at 1.5x, but only if the employee worked over 40 hours that week; the premium is credited against weekly overtime, not stacked on top (KRS 337.050). Kentucky's seventh-day premium is materially narrower than California's and does not double on top of weekly overtime. Statute: KRS 337.050 — official source
