Maine Wage Payment Statute
Maine Revised Statutes Title 26 §665 requires employers to furnish each employee with a written statement of earnings and deductions on every payday. Portland, Lewiston, Bangor, and South Portland employers must include hours worked, pay rate, gross wages, every itemized deduction, and net pay. Maine also has detailed final-wage rules: terminated employees must be paid by the next regularly scheduled payday or within 2 weeks, whichever comes first.
