N.H. Admin. Code § Lab 304.01 - Employers

(a) The primary responsibility for coverage shall rest upon the employer. Such responsibility shall be exercised by applying for coverage as required by RSA 281-A:5, I, or II or by furnishing proof of financial ability to pay compensation and receiving permission from the labor commissioner to self-insure pursuant to RSA 281-A:5, III as specified in Lab 400.

(b) The employer's responsibility to obtain coverage shall begin before hiring any employee. An employer's responsibility to obtain coverage shall also begin when a valid termination notice canceling existing coverage is received from the carrier, and the employer shall answer the department's inquiry about the reason(s) for termination of coverage as discussed in Lab 307.03.

(c) When coverage is available only through the assigned risk plan as discussed in Lab 305, the employer's application for coverage shall constitute a valid application only when accompanied by the required premium payment.

(d) The employer shall demonstrate compliance with the coverage provisions of the statute by posting the "Notice of Compliance" form WCP-1 (4/2014), contained in appendix II in a conspicuous location available to all employees in accordance to RSA 281-A:4.

(e) Employers who have not already done so shall apply immediately to the US Internal Revenue Service for an employer identification number and supply the same to the agent, carrier as well as department of labor on request.
