Employment Discrimination Protections

As a healthcare professional in New Hampshire, you are given important protections from harassment and discrimination. Like virtually every other type of employment, you cannot legally face adverse employment conditions based on your belonging to a protected class.

We can represent clients in cases that involve discrimination based on:

• Gender
• Age
• Disability
• Religion
• Race
• National origin
• Gender identity and expression
• Sexual orientation
• Military service
• Veteran status

Types of workplace discrimination and harassment issues that you might face as a healthcare worker could include:

• Hostile work environments
• Sexual harassment
• Pregnancy discrimination
• Gender-based compensation disparities
• Wrongful termination
• Contract disputes with medical facilities

Whistleblower Retaliation Representation for Healthcare Workers

Healthcare workers often face retaliation after reporting unsafe or unethical practices. Did you notice that your employer or the healthcare corporation that handles your employment contract did something wrong, so you spoke up about it, but then you were penalized at work? It might not be a coincidence that those two events are so close together. You might have been targeted with whistleblower retaliation, which is unlawful under federal and New Hampshire law.

We provide honest and strong representation for healthcare professionals who were punished for reporting:

• Patient safety violations
• Medicare/Medicaid fraud
• Insurance billing irregularities
• Unsafe staffing levels
• Violations of healthcare regulations
• Improper medication administration
• Medical record falsification
• Many other serious or unlawful issues

Our healthcare employment law attorneys can navigate highly complex whistleblower cases, including those where an employer tolerates whistleblower activity from some, but not from members of a protected class (see above). We take pride in fighting for the workers who spend every day keeping our communities healthy.

Contract Review Services

You can depend on our team at Upton & Hatfield, LLP for employment contract review services tailored to healthcare professionals, both before and after contracts are signed. We can analyze non-compete and non-solicitation provisions for legality and fairness. Oftentimes, healthcare employers try to add unfair non-compete or non-solicitor agreements into employment contracts that make it unreasonably difficult to find a job after leaving for any reason.
