New Hampshire requires employers to carry workers compensation insurance. With no state income tax and a growing business environment, New Hampshire employers still face mandatory workers comp obligations as soon as they hire their first employee.

New Hampshire Workers Comp Requirements

New Hampshire law requires all employers with one or more employees to carry workers comp coverage. Sole proprietors with no employees are not required to cover themselves but may elect to do so. Corporate officers are automatically included unless they choose to file for exclusion. The New Hampshire Department of Labor enforces compliance.
