Description – 2027 Rhode Island State and Federal Combo Poster

Rhode Island is on a scheduled wage ladder: the minimum wage rose to $16.00 per hour on January 1, 2026, and is already set to reach $17.00 on January 1, 2027, with a $3.89 base rate for tipped workers that must still add up to the full rate with tips. The state also pairs a paid-sick-leave law that covers larger employers with a caregiver-insurance program that expanded to 8 weeks in 2026 — two leave programs funded very differently, one by employers and one by employee payroll deductions. This 2027 Rhode Island combo carries the state’s minimum-wage, sick-leave, parental-leave, and related notices together with the federal notices on one laminated poster.

• Rhode Island’s minimum wage is $16.00 per hour effective January 1, 2026, under R.I. Gen. Laws § 28-12, and is scheduled to rise to $17.00 per hour on January 1, 2027. The Department of Labor and Training’s own 2026 combination poster lists the same $16.00 rate, with $14.40 for full-time students under 19 in nonprofit religious, educational, library, or community-service organizations, $12.00 for minors 14 and 15 working not more than 24 hours a week, and $3.89 for employees receiving gratuities. Overtime is at least one-and-one-half times the regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek.

• Under Rhode Island’s Healthy and Safe Families and Workplaces Act, employees at employers with 18 or more employees earn at least 40 hours of paid sick leave per year, accruing at one hour for every 35 hours worked; at smaller employers the same 40 hours are unpaid. Covered uses include the employee’s or a family member’s illness, injury, or health condition, and needs arising from domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking.

• Rhode Island’s Temporary Caregiver Insurance (TCI) program expanded on January 1, 2026: workers may now take 8 weeks of paid leave (up from 6 weeks in 2025) at 60% of normal pay to bond with a new child or care for a seriously ill family member, with the rate set to rise to 70% in 2027. Siblings were also added to the list of relations a worker may take TCI leave to care for. TCI benefits are funded through employee payroll deductions, not employer contributions.
