Rhode Island’s Minimum Wage Posting Updated

The Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training has revised its mandatory Minimum Wage posting to reflect the new minimum wage rate for tipped employees effective January 1, 2017. During Rhode Island’s 2015 legislative session, Governor Raimondo signed House Bill 5364 establishing $3.89 per hour as the minimum amount an employer must pay a tipped employee. The updated Minimum Wage posting contains the new minimum wage rate for employees receiving tips. The minimum wage rate effective date is also reflected on the updated Minimum Wage posting.

Employers subject to any provisions of the Rhode Island Minimum Wage Law must post the updated Minimum Wage posting in an area accessible to employees. Compliance Poster Company has updated the Rhode Island All-On-One^TM Labor Law Poster, and has created the Rhode Island 2017 Minimum Wage Peel ‘N Post^TM for employers with an existing Rhode Island All-On-One^TM Labor Law Poster.
