Kentucky minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. An employer can not employ an worker for a workweek longer than forty hours unless such employee receives compensation for employment in excess of forty hours in a workweek at a rate of no less than one and one half times the hourly rate employed.*
The 7th day overtime law, which is separate from the minimum wage law differs in coverage from that in the minimum wage law and requires premium pay on the seventh day for those employees who work seven days in any one workweek. The state adopts the Federal minimum wage rate by reference if the Federal rate is greater than the State rate. Compensating time in lieu of overtime is allowed upon written request by an employee of any county, charter county, consolidated local government, or urban-county government, including an employee of a county-elected official.*
Employees engaged in an occupation in which more than $30 dollars per month is customarily and regularly received in tips, the employer may pay a minimum of $2.13 per hour if the employer’s records can establish for each week where credit is taken. When adding the tips received to wages paid, the employee receives no less than the minimum wage. No employer shall require any employee to work without a rest period of at least ten (10) minutes during each four (4) hours worked except those employees who are under the Federal Railway Labor Act.*
