Employment Practices Liability in New Hampshire

New Hampshire's Law Against Discrimination bars specified employment discrimination and sexual harassment. An aggrieved person must file a verified written commission complaint within 180 days; after a timely commission filing, a party may generally elect a superior-court action after 180 days or sooner with written commission assent, but no later than three years after the practice. Track the chosen forum and the policy's separate claim-notice terms.

What Is Employment Practices Liability Insurance?

EPLI can help pay covered defense costs and losses when applicants or workers allege discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination or other workplace wrongdoing. If you employ people, check the claim definition, defense costs and prior acts. Read the national Employment practices liability guide.

What to Watch for With Employment Practices Liability in New Hampshire

A complaint must be verified and filed within 180 days
New Hampshire requires an aggrieved person's written, verified complaint with the Commission for Human Rights within 180 days of the alleged act. Preserve the exact documents and dates, and do not substitute the statutory window for the insurance policy's reporting deadline. ²
The court route is an election with a three-year outside date
After a timely commission complaint, a party may generally bring a superior-court action after 180 days, or sooner if the commission assents in writing, but not later than three years after the alleged practice. Electing a civil action bars a later commission complaint based on the same practice, and a commission hearing can also limit court availability. ³
Pregnancy and harassment allegations have explicit statutory treatment
New Hampshire's employment statute expressly treats sex-based harassment as unlawful and includes pregnancy and pregnancy-related medical conditions within sex discrimination. Its disability-accommodation duty has an undue-hardship qualification; match each allegation to the statutory provision rather than treating all workplace disputes alike. ¹

Specialty Program Group LLC
TechInsurance’s current licensing page names Specialty Program Group LLC / SPG Insurance Solutions and lists state license numbers, but labels Rhode Island “Individual licenses” rather than identifying a license for the named agency. RI is omitted because this disclosure does not establish agency authority there; this is a search limitation, not an assertion that the company is unlicensed. The remaining state entries are company-reported and are not an insurance product availability map. ¹⁶

Its separate surplus-lines table includes Idaho number 870820, while a footnote says Georgia and Idaho do not issue agency-level surplus-lines licenses.

The page is company-reported and does not establish product availability. ¹⁷
