Granite State Paid Family Leave under RSA 21-I:99 offers a voluntary insurance program; no state mandate exists and municipalities cannot require paid leave.
New Hampshire established a voluntary paid family and medical leave plan under RSA 21-I:99 through 102, providing income replacement for state employees and offering opt-in coverage to private employers. There is no statewide mandate requiring private sector paid leave. RSA 275 governs wage payment but does not authorize municipalities to enact paid leave ordinances; employment standards are state-set, leaving towns without enabling authority. Employees of participating employers may receive 60 percent of wages for up to six weeks per year.
There are no state penalties for failing to provide paid leave because participation is voluntary.
