Start hereMinimum WageNo independent state rate; RSA 279:21 adopts the federal minimum wage "as amended" (confirmed from gencourt.state.nh.us); current effective rate is the federal FLSA $7.25/hr. **Publishing rule:** the page must say "New Hampshire tracks the federal minimum wage" and cite RSA 279:21 — never assert a state-set dollar rate, because the statute contains no dollar figure.
OvertimeRSA 279:21(VIII): 1.5× after 40 hrs/week; RSA 279:21(VIII)(b) explicitly exempts FLSA-covered employers from state overtime (FLSA applies directly to them). State overtime rule reaches mainly small employers not covered by FLSA.
