The rules
Pay stub requirements in Maine
Maine requires employers to give employees an itemized statement of earnings for every pay period, and the statement must be one the employee can both access and print. An electronic stub is fine on its own terms, but only if the employee can produce a paper copy from it without asking for help.
Maine expects employees to be paid at least every 16 days, so the pay period shown on the stub should match that cadence. When someone leaves, final wages are due next payday, or within two weeks of a demand — which is why a final stub often has to be produced at short notice.
Deductions
What comes out of a Maine paycheck
