New Hampshire enacted RSA 115-A:29 in 2009 to require employers to permit honorably discharged veterans of the United States Armed Forces to take the day off on Veterans Day, November 11. Employers do not have to recognize Veterans Day on a company-wide basis, but must permit veterans to elect to take the day off if they wish. The day off is without pay unless pay is otherwise required by law, such as in the case of a salaried employee who performs work during the pay period in which Veterans Day falls.
