Next year will bring a host of new challenges for businesses looking to add employees to the payroll.
Maine's Paid Family and Medical Leave law will go into effect, which will allow an employee to take paid leave for up to 12 weeks to care for an ill family member or new child, for instance.
The state's minimum wage will increase by 45 cents an hour, to $15.10 (a separate minimum wage provision was approved in Portland that will raise the hourly compensation to $19 within three years).

For companies that plan to grow, all of these factors will have to be managed.
