Upholding Workplace Equality: NH Employment Discrimination and the Fight Against Sex, Color, Race, National Origin, and Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
In the pursuit of a just and equitable society, the battle against employment discrimination holds paramount importance. New Hampshire, a state with a rich history of embracing individual rights and social justice, has taken significant strides to combat discrimination based on sex, color, race, national origin, and sexual harassment within the workplace. This advocacy statement delves into the pivotal role of New Hampshire's legal framework in eradicating discrimination and promoting a workplace culture that is inclusive, diverse, and free from harassment.
The Landscape of Employment Discrimination
Employment discrimination, in all its forms, inflicts deep wounds on individuals and society as a whole. It undermines the principles of fairness and equal opportunity that are the cornerstones of a just society. Whether based on sex, color, race, national origin, or sexual harassment, these acts of discrimination not only hinder an individual's professional growth but also perpetuate systemic inequalities.
A. Combating Sex, Color, Race, and National Origin Discrimination
New Hampshire's commitment to fighting sex, color, race, and national origin discrimination is evident in both its legal framework and its social values. Through statutes and common law, the state has erected barriers against the pervasive discrimination that has plagued workplaces across the nation. These barriers stand as a testament to New Hampshire's unwavering belief in a workplace environment where an individual's worth is determined solely by their qualifications, talents, and dedication.
The state's legal protections extend to employees of all backgrounds, ensuring that no one is subject to discriminatory practices. Through a combination of legislation and a robust legal system, New Hampshire sends a powerful message that discrimination has no place within its borders. In essence, the state safeguards the rights of every employee to be evaluated fairly and justly, regardless of their sex, color, race, or national origin.
B. Eradicating Sexual Harassment: A Commitment to Safety and Dignity
The fight against sexual harassment within the workplace is a critical battleground in the war against discrimination. New Hampshire recognizes the gravity of this issue and has established comprehensive measures to protect employees from unwelcome advances, hostile environments, and the profound impact that harassment can have on mental and emotional well-being.
New Hampshire's stance against sexual harassment resonates deeply with the broader societal shift towards valuing consent, dignity, and respect. By enshrining legal protections and providing avenues for reporting and seeking redress, the law works to ensure that no employee is subjected to a work environment that undermines their safety and personal integrity.

What compensation can one expect
following an unlawful termination?
Monetary compensation in civil claims and lawsuits serves to make victims whole after suffering harm, while also ensuring that those responsible for wrongdoing are held accountable. After an illegal termination, you may be eligible to claim for:
Economic Damages
Lost Wages: This refers to the back pay and benefits the employee would have received had they not been wrongfully terminated. It could include bonuses, commissions, and any other form of compensation.
Front Pay: This is the compensation for the loss of future wages and benefits, especially if reinstatement is not feasible.
Loss of Pension Benefits: If the termination affected the employee's pension or retirement benefits, they might be compensated for that loss.
Non-Economic Damages
Emotional Distress: Wrongfully terminated employees can experience significant mental anguish, stress, and other psychological effects.
Damage to Reputation: If the wrongful termination led to the employee's professional reputation being tarnished, they might be entitled to damages.
Punitive Damages: In cases where the employer's conduct was particularly malicious or reckless, courts might award punitive damages to punish the employer and deter similar behavior in the future.
Job Search and Relocation Costs: If the terminated employee incurred expenses while searching for a new job or had to relocate due to the termination, they might be reimbursed for those expenses.
Legal Fees and Costs: If the employee hires an attorney to represent them in a wrongful termination lawsuit, they might be able to recover the attorney's fees and other legal costs.
Interest: Depending on jurisdiction, the employee might also be awarded interest on the damages from the date of termination to the date of judgment.
Reinstatement: In some cases, especially in public sector jobs or union environments, the court or tribunal might order that the employee be reinstated to their former position in addition to, or in lieu of, monetary damages.
Benefit Loss: This includes any health insurance, life insurance, stock options, or other fringe benefits that were lost due to the wrongful termination.
Training and Education Costs: If the employee had to undergo additional training or education to find a new job after wrongful termination, they might be entitled to recover those costs.
