A:
Kentucky law, Ky. Rev. Stat. § 2.110, is related to Labor Day observance. According to this statute, Labor Day is recognized as a public holiday, and it prohibits any form of work on that day for employees unless it is essential to public necessity or welfare. Essentially, this means that most employees are given the day off.
However, the law does allow exceptions for workers whose jobs are critical to public necessity or welfare, such as emergency services, public utilities, and certain healthcare workers. These employees might be required to work on Labor Day to ensure essential services continue uninterrupted.
Certain businesses, particularly those providing vital services, may not be subject to the law’s restrictions. In general, businesses that operate in sectors deemed essential, such as hospitals, law enforcement, and public utilities, can require employees to work on Labor Day.
