Paid Family & Medical Leave - April 30 Deadline to Register, Submit Wage Reports & Premiums

AUGUSTA - The Maine Department of Labor is reminding employers that the deadline to register for the Maine Paid Family & Medical Leave portal, and to submit wage reports and premiums, is April 30.

The PFML portal is the online system for employers to file quarterly wage reports and remit quarterly premium contributions. If an employer wishes to authorize their payroll company to file on their behalf, the payroll company must also register in the portal and 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.

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.
