New Hampshire has no predictive scheduling law, and RSA 275 leaves wage and scheduling rules to the state, blocking municipal fair workweek ordinances.
New Hampshire imposes no statewide predictive scheduling or fair workweek requirements. RSA 275 governs the timely payment of wages and final pay but does not require advance schedule posting, premium pay for last-minute changes, or rest between shifts. RSA 279 sets minimum wage and overtime rules. Because the state has occupied the field of wage and hour regulation, municipalities lack enabling authority to adopt local fair workweek ordinances. Federal FLSA continues to govern overtime.
There are no state penalties tied to schedule changes; wage payment violations under RSA 275:43 carry civil and criminal sanctions.
