Equal Pay
RSA 275:37 — the same rate for equal work regardless of sex
No employer may pay employees of one sex less than employees of the other for equal work requiring equal skill, effort and responsibility under similar working conditions, except under a seniority system, a merit system, a system measuring earnings by quantity or quality of production, or a difference based on a factor other than sex, as the section sets out.
Who handles this in New Hampshire: legal aid programs, lawyer referral and the state offices, listed in the New Hampshire directory.
