relative to wage payments.

HB 280 requires New Hampshire employers to pay weekly workers within 8 days and biweekly workers within 15 days of the work week ending. It specifies acceptable payment methods including cash, direct deposit, electronic transfer, or payroll cards, with strict rules for payroll cards: employers must provide clear fee disclosures, obtain voluntary written consent, allow employees to switch methods anytime without penalty, and cover all card-related costs. The bill also mandates that health and pension fund contributions be paid within 30 days of a demand. This directly affects all employees and employers covered under New Hampshire's wage payment laws (RSA 275:43).
