Regulation Authority:

R.I. Gen. Laws Chapter 28-12
R.I. Gen. Laws § 25-3-7
R.I. Gen. Laws § 28-14-19

Purpose and Reason:

This amendment removes Section 2.6.2 entitled “Petition for Exemption” concerning premium pay exemptions for work on holidays and Sundays, in compliance with R.I. Gen. Laws § 25-3-7, which no longer allows the Director to grant exemptions after July 6, 2021. It also adds a new definition for “retail business” to Section 2.3 to clarify the application of overtime provisions under R.I. Gen. Laws § 28-12-4.1. The regulation now includes a definition that aligns with related statutory and federal definitions.
