Employers Can Now be Forced to Pay Maine Workers Damages for Missed Wages

A new Maine law, that went into effect Friday, Aug. 9, allows the state to order businesses to pay back wages. Also, to pay damages from missed wages.

Damages may equal twice the amount of those lost wages, with interest.

The law gives the state Department of Labor more tools to hold businesses accountable for failure to pay.
