R.I. Gen. Laws § 40-6.1-3
Current through 2024 Public Law 457
No recipient shall be required to work in excess of eight (8) hours per day, nor in excess of forty (40) hours per week. The actual number of work-training hours required shall be determined by dividing the total grant of the recipient received under the general public assistance program (GPA), by the then-prevailing minimum wage. The grant of each recipient shall then be increased by the amount of thirty dollars ($30.00) per week, or a portion thereof proportionate to the number of hours actually worked compared to a standard forty-hour (40) week. The increase shall be considered to result from the recipient's participation in the program, and shall be included in determining the number of hours to be worked.
