New Hampshire wage payment and collection law
Beyond the minimum wage and overtime rate, New Hampshire has its own wage-payment statute governing when workers must be paid, what happens to a final paycheck, and how to recover wages an employer has not paid. The essentials, drawn from New Hampshire Department of Labor, are below.
- How often wages must be paid
- RSA 275:43, I: all wages due within 8 days after the work week if paid weekly, or 15 days if biweekly, on regular paydays at no cost to the employee; Commissioner may permit at least monthly.
- Final paycheck after separation
- RSA 275:44: on discharge, wages in full within 72 hours; on quit, by next regular payday (or 72 hours if at least one pay period's notice). Willful failure: liquidated damages 10%/day capped at unpaid wages.
- How to file a wage claim
- RSA 275:51: the Labor Commissioner adjudicates wage claims; employer served, 20 days to object; hearing on request; appeal to superior court within 20 days.
- Deadline to claim (statute of limitations)
- RSA 275:51, V: 36 months from the date wages were due.
- Other state-specific rules
- Vacation, severance, holiday, sick, personal-day pay and expense reimbursement count as wages when a matter of policy/practice (RSA 275:43, V; 275:42, III).
