Why Do You Need a Employment Attorney in New Hampshire?
The New Hampshire Law Against Discrimination (NHLAD, N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 354-A) prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religious creed, national origin, age, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, and marital status at employers with 6+ employees. Charges are filed with the New Hampshire Commission for Human Rights (NHCHR) within 180 days. New Hampshire is at-will with a public-policy exception (Cloutier v. Great A&P Tea Co.). Non-competes are evaluated under a reasonableness test; healthcare professional non-competes require notice (RSA 329:31-a). Non-competes also require advance disclosure under RSA 275:70 (must be presented to prospective employees before they accept). New Hampshire minimum wage tracks federal $7.25/hour. New Hampshire has no state paid sick or family leave but operates a voluntary Paid Family and Medical Leave program (Granite State Paid Family Leave Plan).
