Need quick answer re Rhode Island

Sue

Does anyone know the exact name for the state law in Rhode Island that covers discrimination? I need it for a severance agreement. For example, the law in Wisconsin is the Wisconsin Fair Employment Law.

Any quick response would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry I wasn't quicker. The name of the law you are looking for is Rhode Island Fair Employment Practices.
