Listen Live Photo: Newsradio WGAN. Matt Gagnon, in a conversation with Jessica Picard from the Maine Department of Labor, discussed the Maine Paid Family Medical Leave law. The law, coming into effect on January 1, 2023, mandates payroll contributions from both employers and employees, with the benefits commencing from May 1, 2026. Employers are required to set up accounts in the paid leave portal by April 30, 2023, and make contributions accordingly. For those employers with fewer than 15 employees, only employee contributions need to be collected. The law encompasses all private and public sector employees, including those who are part-time and seasonal workers, self-employed individuals, and tribal governments. Details regarding the application process will be made public in early 2026. For additional information, you can visit maine.gov/paidleave or call 207-621-5024.
