There are a number of laws relating to employment in Maine that protect employees against job loss. These protections come in the form of unemployment insurance, worker’s compensation and the Family and Medical Leave Act. Unemployment benefits assist workers who voluntarily leave their job for good cause or those who are unexpectedly terminated through no fault of their own. Worker’s compensation is available to an employee after an accident and the Family and Medical Leave act allows for an employee to take an extended leave for a medical condition. Certain criteria must be met in every instance in order to receive these benefits.
