RSA 28:10-a Discharge or Suspension from Employment.

I. Before any county may discharge, remove, or suspend an employee as provided in paragraphs II-IV, the county commissioners shall first adopt and establish rules and procedures for the discharge, removal, or suspension of its employees. Each county employee shall receive a copy of the rules and procedures which the county adopts. Nothing in this section shall be construed so as to limit negotiations under, or the applicability of, RSA 273-A. In the event that rules or procedures adopted by the county commissioners conflict with an agreement negotiated pursuant to RSA 273-A, the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement shall prevail.
II. Any employee of a county institution who has served at least one year shall not be discharged, removed, or suspended from employment
