In New Hampshire, employees must be paid at the rate of time and a half for all time worked in excess of 40 hours per week. Exceptions exist for amusement, seasonal and recreational establishments that do not operate more than seven months out of each calendar year or that earn a substantial amount of their income (66 percent) in a six-month period. New Hampshire's overtime pay law does not apply to employees who are covered by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act or who are exempt from state minimum wage requirements.
Effective January 1, 2009, an exception is made to the exemption for delivery drivers and sales merchandisers covered by the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act in that employers must not calculate the overtime rate of compensation by the fluctuating workweek method of overtime payment.
