Overtime in New Hampshire

New Hampshire’s overtime requirement comes from federal law, which mandates overtime pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek, incorporated by reference in state law. Specifically, 29 U.S.C. § 207(a)(1) sets the federal overtime standard, and N.H. Rev. Stat. § 279:21 adopts that rule for New Hampshire employers not otherwise exempt. The statute provides exceptions and factors for determining coverage, but the core rule applies after 40 hours. A verified figure of $300.00 appears in the official source, and the worked example below illustrates the calculation. For an estimate tailored to specific circumstances, the DocketMath calculator can compute the result using the exact details from the governing law.

Wage calculation example

For a New Hampshire wage or overtime example, use only values backed by the verified rule packet. The verified packet cites 29 U.S.C. § 207(a)(1) (overtime — incorporated by reference via N.H. Rev. Stat. § 279:21); N.H. Rev. Stat. § 279:21 (minimum wage) (https://gc.nh.gov/rsa/html/XXIII/279/279-21.htm).

Example inputs:

• Hourly rate: $20
• Hours at issue: 10
• Applied multiplier: 1.5x

Calculation:

• Multiply the hourly rate by the hours at issue.
• Apply the verified multiplier when the claim type requires it.
• Example amount: $300.00

This example is generated from packet-backed values. Confirm coverage, exemptions, lookback periods, and liquidated-damages rules before relying on the amount.
