The rules

Pay stub requirements in Rhode Island

Rhode Island requires employers to give employees a written or electronic statement of earnings for each pay period, itemizing gross pay, every deduction taken, and the net amount. The format is left to the employer, so a clearly itemized PDF satisfies the requirement as readily as a printed slip.

Rhode Island expects employees to be paid weekly for most employees, so the pay period shown on the stub should match that cadence. When someone leaves, final wages are due next regular payday — which is why a final stub often has to be produced at short notice.

Deductions

What comes out of a Rhode Island paycheck

Every stub carries federal income tax withholding, Social Security, and Medicare, plus Rhode Island state income tax. Rhode Island also has its own employee-paid payroll deductions: Rhode Island Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI). Anything you add yourself — health insurance, retirement contributions, garnishments — appears as its own itemized line.
