To kick off the New Year, employers with 11 or more employees working in Maine will need to review their policy related to the handling of accrued yet unused paid vacation at the end of employment.
Maine passed an amendment to the Labor Law §626 requiring unused vacation time accrued on and after January 1, 2023, to be paid to the employee at the end of employment. Final wages, now including unused, accrued vacation must be paid no later than the next established payday.
