Labor Laws of the State of Maine provide protection for people who work in Maine.  The Maine Department of Labor administers the laws, which all employers must follow. Department representatives inspect workplaces to ensure compliance. Citations and penalties may be issued to employers who do not comply. This poster describes some important parts of the laws.  A copy of the actual laws or formal interpretations may be obtained from the Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Standards, by calling  207-623-7900.  (The laws are also on the Bureau’s web site.)

See attached poster for more details.
