New Hampshire Legal Requirements
Key NH statutes and obligations that apply to your employment contract.
Requirements
- New Hampshire is an at-will employment state; employment contracts should expressly state the at-will basis or clearly define any for-cause termination standard
- New Hampshire minimum wage: $7.25/hour (follows federal minimum); no statewide tipped wage above federal floor
- Non-compete agreements must be disclosed to applicants before a job offer is made (RSA 275:70) — failure to disclose before the offer voids the agreement
Restrictions & Limits
- New Hampshire has no statewide paid sick leave or paid family leave law — leave terms must be established contractually
- Non-compete agreements are enforceable if reasonable, but RSA 275:70 (effective 2012) requires disclosure prior to any job offer; a non-compete presented after hiring is void for lack of timely disclosure
- New Hampshire employers must pay final wages on the next regular payday after separation (RSA 275:44)

New Hampshire Employment Contract FAQ
Common questions about employment contracts under New Hampshire law.
What is New Hampshire's non-compete disclosure requirement?
Under RSA 275:70, employers must provide a copy of any non-compete agreement to prospective employees before making a job offer. A non-compete presented for the first time after an offer is accepted is unenforceable.
Does New Hampshire have an income tax on wages?
No. New Hampshire imposes no tax on wages, salaries, or other earned income. The state's Interest and Dividends Tax (on investment income) is being phased out. This makes New Hampshire attractive for employees and remote workers.
