SOMALIPERSIANARABIC VIETNAMESE FRENCH ITALIAN PORTUGUESE SPANISH ENGLISH KOREAN JAPANESE CHINESE RUSSIANPOLISH Notice to Employees: State law requires your employer to provide workers’compensation insurance for its employ- ees. Workers’compensation insurance provides benefits to employees who are injured at work. If you are injured at work, NOTIFY YOUR EMPLOYER AT ONCE. You may lose your right to receive benefits unless your employer is notified within 60 days of your injury. Your claim is also subject to a two year statute of limitations. Worker advocates are available at the Workers’ Compensation Board to help injured workers. It is against the law for employers to mis- classify employees as independent contractors for the purposes of avoiding workers’ compen- sation insurance, unemployment coverage, or other employer paid taxes and withholdings. For more information on laws pertaining to the hiring of independent contractors, visit the Worker Misclassification Task Force website at www.maine.gov/labor/misclass. If you have any questions about your rights, please contact one of the regional offices. A l’intention des Employes: D’après les lois de l’Etat du Maine, votre employeur est tenu de souscrire à une assurance indemnisant ses employés victimes d’un accident du travail. Si vous êtes victime d’un accident du travail, PREVENEZ VOTRE EMPLOYEUR IMMEDI- ATEMENT. Passé un délai de 6 0 jours, vous risquez de perdre vos droits à l’indemnisation. Au-delà de deux ans, votre déclaration n’est plus recevable. Pour aider les victimes d’un accident du travail, le Workers’Compensation Board met des conseillers juridiques à leur disposition. La loi interdit aux employeurs de classifier fallacieusement leurs salariés comme étant des contractants privés aux fins d`échapper a l`assurance compensatrice-employé, aux indemnités de chômage, ou aux autres charges et retenues dues par employeur. Pour plus de détails sur la législation relative a l`utilisation des services privés, visitez le site internet de Worker Misclassification Task Force (Unité anti-fraude en matière de classification des salariés) : www.maine.gov/labor/misclass. Si vous n’êtes pas sûr de vos droits, veuillez contacter l’un des bureaux régionaux. Aviso a los Trabajadores: La ley del estado de Maine requiere que su empresario proporcione el seguro de compensa- ciones para el trabajador a todos los trabajadores. El seguro de compensaciones para el trabajador proporciona beneficios a los trabajadores acciden- tados en el trabajo. En caso de sufrir accidente o daño laboral, NOTIFÍQUELO INMEDIATAMENTE A SU EMPRESARIO. Podría perder el derecho a recibir compensación a menos que su empresario sea notificado de este accidente o daño en el plazo de 6 0 días. Así mismo esta reclamación debe hacer referencia a unaccidente o daño que no haya ocurrido hace más de dos años. Los defensores del trabajador están disponibles para proporcionar ayuda a los trabajadores acciden- tados en el Consejo de Administración de Com- pensaciones para el Trabajador (Workers’ Com- pensation Board). El hecho de no clasificar a los empleados como contratistas independientes, con el propósito de evitar el seguro por compensación al trabajador, cobertura para desempleados, ú otros impuestos pagados y retenidos por el empleador; está en contra de la ley del empleador. Para mayor infor- mación acerca de las leyes pertenecientes a la contratación de contratistas independientes, visite el Worker Misclassification Task Force en la página web de www.maine.gov/labor/ misclass. En caso de tener cualquier pregunta sobre sus derechos, favor de dirigirse a una de las oficinas regionales de compensaciones para el trabajador.
