McLane: New Hampshire Holds Individual Employees Can be Liable for Workplace Discrimination and Retaliation | Practical Law
This Law Firm Publication by McLane Middleton discusses a recent decision by the New Hampshire Supreme Court holding that individual employees can be liable under the New Hampshire Law Against Discrimination (NHLAD) for aiding and abetting workplace discrimination and for retaliating against other employees. The New Hampshire Supreme Court's decision in EEOC v. Fred Fuller Oil Company was based on language in the statute that allows employees to pursue discrimination claims against a "person" and expressly prohibits aiding and abetting unlawful discriminatory practices. The NHLAD (and this decision) applies only to employers with six or more employees.
