Maine Equal Pay Law Poster
The Equal Pay Law is a labor law posters poster by the Maine Department Of Labor. This is an optional poster, so while it is recommended that you post this if it is relevant to your employees, you are not required to by the Department Of Labor.
This poster is optional to post and describes the right that employees have for getting paid the same amount regardless of their sex for the same work, what questions to ask if an employee feels like they are being discriminated against, and who to turn to should they be discriminated against.

Maine Equal Pay Law
This poster is provided at no cost by the Maine Department of Labor and may be copied.
Are you being paid less than an employee of the opposite sex for performing the
same or similar job?
If so, please ask yourself the following questions.
1. Has the other employee worked for the business or been in that job longer than I have?
2. Does the other employee have more training, education or experience related to the job
than I do?
3. Is there a merit system in place that rewards employees with promotion, pay increases or other
advantages on the basis of their abilities or qualifications?
4. Does the other employee have more responsibilities in comparison to my own responsibilities?
If you cannot answer at least one of the above questions with a “yes,” you may want to file an Equal Pay
Complaint. The Maine Department of Labor has a printable complaint form which you may access at
www.maine.gov/labor/labor_laws/wagehour.html or you may call 207-623-7900 and request that an Equal
Pay Complaint form be mailed to you.
