Maine law requires employers to annually provide their employees with notice of the employer’s sexual harassment policy. The employer’s policy must contain, for example, the definition of harassment (with examples), the employer’s internal complaint mechanism, the Maine Human Rights Commission’s complaint process, and an anti-retaliation statement.
A stand-alone copy of the Maine Non-Harassment and Sexual Harassment Policies (the same policies included with our Basic Employment Policies and Handbook Product) is available on Form Source in the state appendix. Clients with employees in Maine should distribute and employees should acknowledge receipt of these policies as appropriate.
As always, feel free to contact your ADP Human Resource Business Partner if you have any questions.
