Overtime rules in Rhode Island
1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek. No daily overtime.
Rhode Island uses the 40-hour weekly rule; Sunday/holiday premium pay rules have largely been phased out.
Because Rhode Island has no daily-overtime rule, only your weekly total matters: hours over 40 in the workweek are paid at 1.5×. A handful of states (California, Alaska, Colorado, Nevada) add daily overtime on top of this — Rhode Island is not one of them.
Rhode Island overtime pay example
Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × 1.5
At the Rhode Island minimum wage of $16.00, an overtime
hour is worth $24.00. A 45-hour week =
40 regular ($640.00) + 5 overtime (5 × $16.00 × 1.5 = $120.00) = $760.00 gross. Earn more than minimum
wage? Put your own rate into the calculator above.
