New Hampshire Adds Protections for Volunteer Firefighters and EMTs
Effective August 13, 2024, employers of all sizes will be prohibited from taking adverse action against volunteer firefighters and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) for reporting late to work because they are responding, in their official capacity, to an emergency they come across or witness while heading to work. Employers are not required to compensate nonexempt employees for the time missed.
Payments to Deceased Employees
On September 10, 2024, the maximum amount of a deceased employee’s wages that employers are permitted to pay directly to certain surviving family members will increase from $300 to $3,000. This law doesn’t apply when an employer has notice of probate proceedings or to farm employers with four or fewer employees.
