New Hampshire HB1177 defines remote work and outlines employer responsibilities for remote workers.

New Hampshire HB1177 amends labor laws by defining "remote work" as a flexible arrangement where employees perform work at an alternative site and not at an agency worksite on a regular basis. Employers must ensure remote workers receive the same protections and rights as in-person workers, including compliance with labor laws. Employers must also ensure workplace safety, provide necessary equipment, establish communication channels, secure sensitive information, and offer training. The act takes effect January 1, 2027.
