Maximum work hrs per day....

[Bluebird]

I live in the state of Kentucky and would like to know if there is a maximum number of hours an employer can force an employee to work.

If you are over 18, there is no limit unless you are under a collective bargaining agreement (or in California). However, Kentucky is one of the states that requires one day off per week (one out of seven).

If you are under 18 and in non-farm labor, then the Federal laws control. Click on the following to see what they are in your state:

And, Kentucky's minor labor laws:

As much as I had hoped that the information about KY having a law that requires an employer to give an employee one day off a week, I have since found out that this law pertains to minors.
