EMPLOYMENT LAW

Maltese employment law seeks to ensure a good working relationships amongst all employers and employees. Apart from the European Union regulatory framework, the employment sector in Malta is mainly also regulated by the Employment and Industrial Relations Act (EIRA), the Employment Commission Act and the Employment and Training Services Act. These guarantee a suitable and adequate working environment to employees, in which employment contracts work in favour of the employees rather than placing them in a weaker position. Employees are thus furnished with the proper safeguards as to their rights to leave, gender equality and minimum wage, amongst others. Employers and employees alike are to ensure compliance with these regulations. Non-adherence would give rise to serious detrimental implications, as one would not only risk facing legal liability but also reputational damages to the firm in question.
