The New Hampshire Legislature is currently proposing in House Bill 361 (2015) excluding individuals who exclusively work at home via the internet for on-line business activities from the general definition of employee in the New Hampshire Statute. The proposal would only apply to “a person who works exclusively at home via the internet for on-line business activities.” Such an exclusion, if passed, would allow the “virtual employer” to avoid paying workers’ compensation and unemployment benefits. The bill is currently pending.
Are you an employee if you work from home?
