Lost Paychecks In Mail

Summary

In New Hampshire, if your paycheck is lost in the mail and delayed, you should contact your employer to request a reissue. Employers must pay within 8 days of the end of the pay period. If the issue persists, you can file a wage and hour complaint with the NH Department of Labor. Employers cannot retaliate against employees for asserting their rights under wage and hour laws, but walking out could be grounds for termination. Liquidated damages are predetermined amounts set in contracts for breaches. If successful in your complaint, you may be entitled to unpaid wages and liquidated damages. This is general advice and not legal counsel.
