As you know, starting January 1st, 2025, any employer with at least one Maine-based employee must begin payroll withholdings for their employees. Employers with 15 or more employees will contribute 1 percent of wages and may deduct up to half of the contribution from the employees’ wages. Employers with less than 15 employees will contribute 0.5 percent of wages and may deduct the entire amount from the employees’ wages. Employers will begin their first quarterly wage reporting and premium payments starting April 1st and due by April 30th, 2025.
Employers must also post the Paid Family and Medical Leave poster in the workplace where workers can easily see it. You can access the poster here.
