News Release
Dear employer,
If you haven’t already, you must register on the Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) Portal [ [link removed] ].
It is the online system for employers to file quarterly wage reports and remit quarterly premium contributions. If you have a payroll company, they can request access to your account to file for you after you register. The portal also allows self-employed individuals and tribal governments to elect coverage.
Thank you to the over 18,000 employers who have registered on the portal so far!
Any employer with at least one Maine-based employee must have begun payroll withholdings January 1, 2025:
* Employers with 15 or more employees contribute 1 percent of wages and may deduct up to half of the contribution from the employees' wages.
* Employers with less than 15 employees contribute 0.5 percent of wages and may deduct the entire amount from the employees' wages.
Employers will begin their first quarterly wage reporting and premium payments April 1, 2025. They are due by April 30, 2025.

If you have questions, call the PFML call center at (207) 621-5024 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday-Friday.
*PFML staff are beginning to call unregistered employers to remind them of the registration requirement and offer assistance – the calls will come from the above call center number, and no personal information will be asked for.*
