This bill would require Kentucky employers to give workers an upfront estimate of their expected work schedule, post schedules at least seven days in advance, and provide rest time between shifts. If an employer changes a posted schedule, the employee would be entitled to additional compensation, and workers could also indicate times they are unavailable. Employers who violate these rules would face penalties. Who it may affect: hourly and shift workers, employers who use variable or on-call scheduling practices.
