This approach helps employers manage misconduct while meeting legal obligations.
Rhode Island Compliance Requirements
Employers in Rhode Island must respond quickly and thoroughly after harassment incidents:
State and Federal Oversight
The RI Fair Employment Practices Act (FEPA) prohibits sex-based harassment and covers employers with four or more staff.
Mandatory Written Policies
RI law requires employers to maintain a formal anti-harassment policy, provide training at least every two years, and document complaint handling.
Timely Reporting Windows
Employees must file complaints promptly—within 180 days to the RI Commission and 300 days to the EEOC.
Our training is designed to support Rhode Island employers in complying with these standards, while promoting internal discipline.
