Maine’s Paid Family and Medical Leave program begins May 1, 2026. This session will focus on what you need to know about your rights and responsibilities as an employer, and what information you need to share with your employees. We’ll explore how you can interact with the program’s claims administrator and what tasks they’re doing, so you don’t have to.

You’ll walk away with a solid understanding of who is and is not eligible for benefits under the program, what leave reasons are covered, and how benefit payments will be calculated. We’ll also share best practices to deal with the specific nuances of Maine’s program.
