Noncompetes for Low Wage Workers
RSA 275:70-a — none for a worker paid 200 percent of the federal minimum or less
A low wage employee, one who earns an hourly rate less than or equal to 200 percent of the federal minimum wage, may not be bound by a noncompete agreement restricting them from working for another employer, as the section defines it.
Who handles this in New Hampshire: legal aid programs, lawyer referral and the state offices, listed in the New Hampshire directory.
