SB 353 Kentucky Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT relating to labor.

This bill amends Kentucky law to ensure gender-neutral language in provisions about final wage payments to employees. It directly affects employers and employees by clarifying that all earned wages must be paid in full within the next normal pay period or within 14 days of an employee leaving or being discharged. The amendment updates the existing statute to use inclusive language while maintaining the same payment requirements and deadlines for final compensation. The bill does not change the timing or conditions for wage payment, only the wording to apply equally to all genders.
