AN ACT relating to minimum wage for essential workers.

This bill would create a definition for "essential employee" under Kentucky law and set a minimum wage specifically for workers who fall under that category. It would change existing wage statutes to distinguish essential employees from other workers when it comes to minimum pay requirements. The outcome would depend on how "essential employee" is defined and what wage level is established, details not specified in the available bill information. Who it may affect: workers classified as essential employees and their employers.
