Laws § 40-6.1-3","heading":"Work hours.","body":"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.","path":["Title 40 Human Services","Chapter 6.1 Work Training Program"],"source_url":"https://webserver.rilegislature.gov/Statutes/TITLE40/40-6.1/40-6.1-3.htm","current_through":"site files published 2025-08-13","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-05T19:59:25Z","sha256":"bada9e55ac6e96027d4f33bc83e8308bf17a4bf233f3dc0b9c214d1050b6c3fa","source_id":"us-ri","stale":true,"prev":"us-ri/r.i.-gen.-laws-40-6.1-2","next":"us-ri/r.i.-gen.-laws-40-6.1-4"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
