Maria Fox joined today’s episode of Maine Calling on Maine Public to discuss the state’s Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) program and what it means for employers and employees across Maine.
Maria shared an overview of the PFML Authority and its role in overseeing the program’s implementation and financial health. She also explained how PFML interacts with existing leave policies, highlighted options for supplementing benefits, and discussed key employee protections, including job restoration rights for eligible employees and safeguards against retaliation.
As Chair of the Maine Paid Family and Medical Leave Benefits Authority, Maria continues to play an active role in shaping the program and helping Maine organizations navigate what’s ahead.
