Employer Handbook
(Includes the Digest of Labor Laws)

The Employer Handbook explains the rights and responsibilities of employers whose workers are protected by the Rhode Island Employment Security, Temporary Disability, and Workers' Compensation Acts.  It is meant to help those who are responsible for personnel and payroll records.  The text is merely intended as a guide; it does not have the force or effect of law, rule, or regulation.
