AN ACT relating to employment.

Summary

The bill adds new sections to Kentucky’s employment law that define wrongful discharge and set out employee rights to recover lost wages, benefits, and possibly punitive damages. It applies to most private‑sector workers who have completed any probationary period and who are terminated without good cause or in retaliation for reporting public‑policy violations. The measure aims to give employees clearer recourse against unfair terminations while outlining employer obligations.
