Maine LD2101 imposes a penalty on employers for unemployment payments returned unpaid.

Maine LD2101 amends the Employment Security Law to establish a penalty for employers when unemployment payments are returned unpaid. If a payment is returned for reasons such as insufficient funds, account closure, or a stop-payment order, the Commissioner of Labor must assess a penalty. The penalty is either $25 or 1% of the payment amount, whichever is greater. This change aims to ensure employers maintain accurate and valid payment information to avoid penalties.
