2027 pre-order — ready to ship in early to mid January once the laws and new designs are finalized.

Description – 2027 Kentucky State and Federal Combo Poster

Kentucky’s minimum wage adopts the federal rate by reference — $7.25 since 2009, with no inflation indexing — and the state pairs the usual wage and safety notices with a seventh-day overtime rule and paid rest breaks most states don’t mandate. This 2027 Kentucky combo carries the current wage notice, the safety notice, and the other required state and federal notices on one laminated poster.

– Kentucky’s minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, effective July 1, 2009, and the state adopts the federal minimum wage rate by reference if the federal rate is greater than the state rate; it is not inflation-indexed. Tipped employees may be paid a $2.13 per hour cash wage, provided records establish that tips plus wages are not less than the minimum wage. The official wage-and-hour poster, updated April 2024, ends “POST THIS ORDER WHERE ALL EMPLOYEES MAY READ.” Source: Kentucky Education and Labor Cabinet, Wage and Hour poster ; U.S. Department of Labor, State Minimum Wage Laws
– The Kentucky Education and Labor Cabinet’s required-posters page lists the Safety and Health on the Job poster, the Wage and Hour Laws poster, the Wage Discrimination poster, and the Child Labor Law poster (each in English and Spanish), plus two other mandatory posters: the Kentucky Equal Employment Opportunity poster and the Unemployment Insurance Benefits poster — all to be posted where notices to employees are customarily posted. A workers’ compensation posting notice is separately required, displayed conspicuously at the employer’s primary office and other locations where employees report for payroll and personnel matters.

– Kentucky requires overtime at 1.5 times the regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek, plus a seventh-day rule: an employer who permits an employee to work seven days in a workweek must pay time and a half for the seventh day, but that rule does not apply where the employee is not permitted to work more than 40 hours in the workweek. There is no daily overtime trigger. Employees are also entitled to a paid rest period of at least 10 minutes during each four hours worked, and a meal period no sooner than the third nor later than the fifth hour of the shift.
