NH Employment Security (NHES) offers programs and services that will help your business. We are making it easier for you to get all the information you need in a one-stop, self-service format through this Website. We link to many economic development and business sites, chambers of commerce, other job boards, governments sites, supportive service agencies and NH WORKS. Below you'll find comprehensive information about Unemployment Compensation taxes and benefits, employer services, and economic, labor, demographic and workforce development information. We will assist with all of your hiring needs, including incentives to hire, on-the-job-training through Trade Act, hiring veterans, youth, foreign labor, individuals with disabilities, and older workers.

Our goal is to provide information and assistance to help you build a quality workforce and to help your business grow. Our vision is to provide information and services as rapidly as possible and to be proactive in promoting workforce development so that you won't need to layoff individuals. We work with other state and federal agencies to assist you with training, retention, expansion and layoff aversion.

Employers are our greatest resource. Post a job opening using our Job Match System or call your local office and they will enter the information for you and refer applicants that meet your specifications.

Unemployment Compensation Taxes
In the event that a layoff becomes necessary, we can provide you with information and forms to make the transition as convenient as possible for your employees. The Unemployment Compensation program provides benefits to eligible workers who become unemployed through no fault of their own. Employers are taxed for this purpose. Unemployment Compensation taxes are paid by employers under two tax systems, Federal and State. A Field Agent is available in each local office to assist you with computation of your unemployment compensation taxes. (See NHES Agency locations and ask for the Field Agent.) Unemployment Tax Inquiries General Status Questions: (603) 228-4033 or 228-4034 Tax reports/Tax rates/Delinquency notice questions: (603) 228-4048 or 228-4046 Mailing Address: New Hampshire Employment Security 32 South Main Street Concord NH 03301 Fax: (603) 229-4323 Employers are required to post the Unemployment Compensation poster in a conspicuous place for employees.
