relative to mandatory overtime and the calculation of base rate of compensation.
This bill would have changed how the New Hampshire Retirement System calculates the base compensation for certain public employees who were not yet fully vested before 2012. Under the proposed rules, the system would have included mandatory overtime pay in the base rate used to determine retirement benefits, while keeping other types of extra pay separate. The legislation also specified that the employer defines what counts as mandatory overtime for this calculation. Although the bill passed initial committee stages, it was ultimately killed by the legislature on May 23, 2024, and will not take effect.
