An Act To Clarify Indemnification When Seeking Remedy For Labor Law Violations
Pursuant to Joint Rule 310.3 Placed in Legislative Files (DEAD)
Summary
The measure amends Maine law to hold contractors and their construction subcontractors, as well as employment agencies and the employers they serve, jointly and severally responsible for wage‑and‑hour violations. It also obligates the subcontractor or agency to reimburse the contractor or employer for any wages, damages, penalties, interest, or attorney fees owed, unless a contract says otherwise or the breach was caused by delayed payment. The change is intended to clarify who must pay when labor law breaches occur.
