NH Municipal Association (NHMA)

“Under federal law, companies with 15 or more employees are covered by Title VII, which prohibits discrimination in employment. They are also covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability, and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, which prohibits discrimination based on genetic information. Companies with 20 or more employees are subject to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the federal law that prohibits discrimination against employees 40 years or older. The New Hampshire statute applies to all employees over the age of 18. Companies with four or more employees must comply with the employment discrimination provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of citizenship status. And all companies of any size must pay men and women equally for doing equal work, by virtue of the Equal Pay Act. Additionally, New Hampshire companies with six or more employees are subject to the state's anti-discrimination law.
We must also remember that Pregnancy Discrimination is prohibited by law in the state. NH RSA 354-A:7 VI provides female employees the ability to take leave of absence for the period of temporary physical disability resulting from pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions.”
