KRS 337.355: Lunch period requirements.

Employers, except those subject to the Federal Railway Labor Act, shall grant their

employees a reasonable period for lunch, and such time shall be as close to the middle of

the employee's scheduled work shift as possible. In no case shall an employee be required

to take a lunch period sooner than three (3) hours after his work shift commences, nor

more than five (5) hours from the time his work shift commences. This section shall not

be construed to negate any provision of a collective bargaining agreement or mutual

agreement between the employee and employer.
