The New Hampshire minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. The New Hampshire minimum wage is automatically replaced with the Federal minimum wage rate if it is higher than the State minimum. Every employer of employees must keep a true and accurate record of the hours worked daily by each, wages paid to each, and classification of employment when necessary. Tipped employees of a restaurant, hotel, motel, inn or cabin, who customarily and regularly receive more than $30 a month in tips directly from the customers will receive a base rate from the employer of not less 45 percent of the applicable minimum wage.*
