All EEs who have worked 7 days in a row be paid 1.5 pay for all hours worked on the 7th day (with a few exceptions). A variety of employees are completely exempt from Kentucky’s overtime laws, including the immediate family of the employer, commissioned salespeople, domestic workers, learners and students, disabled workers, taxi drivers, farm laborers, employees at seasonal camps, mechanics, and newspaper deliverers. Employees in certain retail stores, hotels and motels, and restaurants are also exempt, as are any employees who are already exempt from Kentucky’s minimum wage laws. Restaurant EEs may be specifically exempt from the 40hr, 1.5x rule, but only in companies whose average annual gross volume of sales made is less than $95,000 for the five (5) preceding years.
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.
Otherwise, the Federal rule applies.
