LD1333

Changes to Maine's Paid Family and Medical Leave Benefits Program, including eligibility, employer obligations, and administrative procedures.

This bill amends Maine's Paid Family and Medical Leave Benefits Program. It requires employees to be employed for at least 120 days before being eligible for leave. Employers can have intermittent leave schedules reviewed by the program administrator. Self-employed individuals must pay 1/4 of a year's worth of premiums upon first applying for coverage. Employers can deduct up to 50% of the premium from employee wages and remit the remaining 50% to the fund.
