Employment Law Report

In late April and the first week of May, Kentucky Governor Beshear introduced the 10 Rules to Reopening and Staying Healthy at Work, as well as, more detailed Minimum Requirements for each rule. The 10 Rules and associated Minimum Requirements will apply to healthcare businesses beginning on Monday, May 11, 2020. The Governor has emphasized in his daily updates that compliance with the 10 Rules and the Minimum Requirements is essential to protect employees in all business sectors – both healthcare and non-healthcare – as well as to protect the individuals with whom employees may come into contact both inside and outside of the work environment.
