AUGUSTA - The Maine Department of Labor is pleased to announce that it is partnering with FAST Enterprises - https://www.fastenterprises.com/ to build the Maine Paid Family and Medical Leave Program's online contributions portal.

This portal will allow employers to register their business information with the Maine Paid Family and Medical Leave Program, file quarterly wage reports and remit contributions, and to apply for private plan substitutions when eligible. The system will also provide the opportunity for self-employed individuals and tribal governments to opt into coverage from the Paid Family and Medical Leave program.

"The Department looks forward to this partnership to build a user-centric, intuitive, and effective one-stop service system for employers in Maine to interact with the Maine Paid Family Leave Program," said Luke Monahan, Director of Maines Paid Family and Medical Leave Program.

FAST Enterprises has previously worked with Maine Revenue Services - https://www.maine.gov/revenue/ to create the Maine Tax Portal - https://revenue.maine.gov/_/ , as well as the contribution collections system for the Massachusetts Department of Family and Medical Leave - https://www.mass.gov/orgs/department-of-family-and-medical-leave .

Payroll contributions begin January 1, 2025, and benefits are scheduled to begin May 1, 2026.
