Kentucky Scheduling Predictability Preemption

Kentucky has not enacted predictive scheduling or fair workweek requirements. KRS Chapter 337 governs hours and overtime, and courts have held the chapter occupies the field of employer scheduling and wage rules. As a result, local fair workweek ordinances such as advance schedule notice, predictability pay, or right-to-rest protections would likely be preempted. Federal FLSA overtime rules and child labor restrictions remain applicable, and certain industries operate under federal rest standards (for example, transportation under DOT regulations).

Local fair workweek ordinances are likely preempted and unenforceable. Federal overtime, recordkeeping, and child labor violations are subject to FLSA enforcement.
