Summary:
Women workers in New Hampshire have greater access to pregnancy disability leave
under state law than under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The New
Hampshire law applies to businesses with six or more employees and covers all women
workers regardless of tenure and number of hours worked. The law provides workers
with a job-protected medical leave of unspecified length for “pregnancy, childbirth or
related medical conditions.”
