Rhode Island S2166 mandates overtime pay for exempt workers if their salary falls below certain multiples of the minimum wage.

Rhode Island S2166 amends the state's minimum wage law to require small and large employers to pay overtime wages to exempt workers if their salary is below specific multipliers of the minimum wage for a 40-hour workweek. Small employers with 1-50 employees must pay overtime if the salary is less than 1.5 times the minimum wage, while large employers with 50 or more employees must do so if the salary is less than 2 times the minimum wage. This change affects executive, administrative, and professional employees and takes effect upon passage.
