HB 500 is an assault on longstanding basic rights and dignities on the job that will harm practically all Kentucky workers.
  • Repeals the requirement that employers provide a lunch break.
  • Repeals the requirement that employers provide a rest break.
  • Repeals the requirement that employees who work seven days in a row receive time-and-a-half overtime pay.
  • Eliminates employer liability for failure to provide proper pay for work time spent traveling between jobs and for time spent on certain activities associated with starting and wrapping up a job.
  • Decreases the statute of limitations for labor violations from five years to three years so workers have less time to report issues.

Jesus, what the actual fuck Kentucky?
