LD369 - Paid Time Off

(2019)

An Act To Support Healthy Workplaces and Healthy Families by Providing Earned Paid Sick Leave to Certain Employees

Sponsored by Sen. Rebecca Millett (D-Cumberland)

What is the bill?

This law will provide earned time off for 139,000 workers who don’t currently have the benefit. LD 369, which was originally proposed as an earned sick leave bill, was amended to require employers with more than ten employees to provide earned time off. Under the new law, these workers will accrue one hour of time off for every 40 hours worked after working for the same employer for 120 days.
