Rhode Island's governor has signed a new law that will increase the state's minimum wage to $9.60, effective January 1, 2016.

As a result of this development, XpertHR has updated the Minimum Wage: Rhode Island section of the Employment Law Manual and the Minimum Wage Rates by State and Municipality Quick Reference chart. Also, a new entry to the Legal Timetable has been added.
