New Hampshire mileage reimbursement rates & calculator

Managing a business means paying attention to the details, and mileage reimbursement is one of those crucial details. For New Hampshire state employees, the law under MOP 1301 mandates that mileage reimbursement is non-negotiable, set at the IRS rate — 67 cents per mile in 2024. 

But what about you as a private employer? 

While you're not legally bound to provide this, it's worth considering. Not only does mileage reimbursement keep your team happy, but it also aligns with the Workers' Compensation Law (RSA 281-A:23), which is mandatory.

New Hampshire mileage reimbursement laws

Getting a handle on New Hampshire's mileage reimbursement rules is crucial for keeping things smooth in your business. Whether it's for state employees or your own team in the private sector, knowing the rules can save you from costly mistakes. 

For state employees, the go-to guide is MOP 1301, while you need to keep an eye on Section 281-A:23 of the Workers' Compensation Act. Both sets of rules ensure that employees are fairly compensated for work-related travel. 

Here's a breakdown of all critical mileage reimbursement laws in New Hampshire.

MOP 1301 for state employees' mileage reimbursement

New Hampshire's MOP 1301[1] policy mandates that state employees using their personal vehicles for official business must be reimbursed at the IRS rate, set at 67 cents per mile for 2024. This rate applies to all types of automobiles, including:

  • Cars
  • Vans
  • Pickups
  • Electric vehicles 

As per the rules mentioned in MOP 1301, private vehicles should only be used when no state vehicles are available, and the Department Head or Designee must authorize their use. 

Section 281-A:23 of NH workers' compensation act for mileage reimbursement

If you have five or more employees in your private company, New Hampshire's Workers' Compensation Act isn't a good-to-do gesture — it's a legal mandate for you.

Section 281-A:23 of NH Workers' Compensation Act mandates that you offer injured employees the following benefits. 

This law also gives injured employees the right to choose their healthcare provider, and as an employer, you must comply with their selections. Failing to do so could result in hefty penalties of up to $2,500. 

New Hampshire minimum wage and its implications for mileage reimbursement 

In New Hampshire, the minimum wage – as detailed under RSA 279 – is tied directly to the federal rate, currently $7.25 per hour. As per the rules, you're legally bound to do the following things.  

  • Ensure the base wage of your tipped employees is at least 45% of the federal minimum rate.
  • Make up the difference if tips don't bring tipped workers' earnings up to the federal minimum wage. 

Everything connects back to mileage reimbursement because fair wages and fair reimbursement go hand in hand. Both are essential in creating a workplace where employees feel valued and fairly treated and you never accidentally violate the Minimum Wage Law due to mileage non-reimbursement.
