Getting Paid
RSA 275:43 — wages within 8 days of the work week, or 15 if paid biweekly
An employer pays all wages due within 8 days after the end of the work week for employees paid weekly, or within 15 days for employees paid biweekly, except where the commissioner authorizes less frequent pay.
Who handles this in New Hampshire: legal aid programs, lawyer referral and the state offices, listed in the New Hampshire directory.
An employee may sue for unpaid wages and liquidated damages in any court with jurisdiction, alone or with others, or through an agent, and the commissioner may take up a wage claim as the section provides.
