Maine Revised Statutes

A. A payroll processor that fails to provide the disclosure statement required by section 1495-B to an employer for which it provides payroll processing services commits a civil violation for which a forfeiture of not less than $50 nor more than $250 may be adjudged. Each failure to notify a particular client constitutes a separate violation for the purposes of this section. An action for a civil violation under this subsection must be brought within 2 years after the date on which disclosure should have been made. An owner or operator of a payroll processor may not be held liable for a civil violation under this subsection if that person shows by a preponderance of the evidence that the violation was unintentional. [1997, c. 495, §1 (NEW).]

B. A payroll processor that conducts business in this State and fails to obtain a license from the administrator as required by section 1495-D commits a civil violation for which a penalty of not less than $1,500 nor more than $7,500 may be adjudged. [2003, c. 668, §12 (AFF); 2003, c. 668, §5 (AMD).]
