When must a New Hampshire employer disclose an NDA non-compete?

Under RSA § 275:70, employers must provide written notice of any non-compete or non-piracy obligation before offer acceptance — failure to do so renders the covenant unenforceable.

Are non-competes enforceable against low-wage workers in New Hampshire?

No — RSA § 275:70-a prohibits non-competes for employees defined as low-wage under the statute.
