Rhode Island legal context
Rhode Island applies the IRS-style common-law right-to-control test for classification. Rhode Island's Noncompetition Agreement Act (R.I. Gen. Laws §§ 28-59-1 et seq., 2020) prohibits non-competes against low-wage workers, students, minors, and non-exempt employees. Confidentiality and trade secret terms remain enforceable under the Rhode Island UTSA (§§ 6-41-1 et seq.).
