Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation

The Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation is the state agency responsible for overseeing and regulating various industries and professions in Rhode Island. They work to ensure compliance with state laws and regulations to protect consumers and promote a fair and competitive business environment.
One of your core responsibilities as a business owner is to comply with state regulations, including those regarding unclaimed funds. Unclaimed funds are assets like wages, refunds, or other forms of property that have been abandoned by their rightful owners.
Every year, businesses must file an Ohio Annual Report of Unclaimed Funds to ensure that unclaimed property is returned to its rightful owners or remitted to the state for safekeeping.
When it comes to classifying workers, there’s more than meets the eye. Beyond the familiar categories of employees and independent contractors, there’s a third type you need to know: statutory employees.
These workers are unique because they’re technically considered independent contractors, but certain laws require you to treat them as employees for tax purposes. Understanding who qualifies as a statutory employee is essential for maintaining compliance and avoiding legal headaches.
The government often uses outside professionals to fulfill key projects. Experts entrusted by the government with an important task often contend with strict regulations for government jobs. This is in addition to the rules and regulations they’re expected to follow as private employers. Certified payroll may be necessary in some of these cases.
Let’s discuss what certified payroll is and how it may be relevant to your business, whether you’re operating out of a single state or managing multi-state payroll.
