Employer of record services are offered by Globalization Partners to clients that need to recruit workers and process payroll in Malta but don't want to set up a physical presence there. According to local labor rules, your applicant is employed via Globalization Partners' Malta PEO and may be onboarded in days rather than the usual months. The person is tasked with fulfilling your in-country needs and will operate alongside your team as if they were an employee of your business.

Our solution allows businesses to outsource their payroll processing to us in Malta while we handle the HR services, tax, and compliance management. We oversee best practices in employment contracts, statutory and market norm benefits, employee costs, and severance and termination if necessary in our role as a Global PEO specialist. We also update you on any changes that may occur in Maltese labor legislation.

New hires have a shorter learning curve, more positive impressions of the recruiting process, and are more likely to commit fully to your team. You may relax knowing that skilled employment professionals are helping you with every hiring. Through Globalization Partners, you can easily and efficiently tap into the expertise of the best and brightest from over 185 nations.
Malta Job Openings

You can find the island nation of Malta in Europe, and its population is close to 450 thousand. Over 6,315 people call Valletta, Malta's capital, home. Malta is one of the world's smallest nations with only 122 square miles in size, yet it also has one of the highest per-square-mile population densities.

The following may be helpful to bear in mind when you negotiate the conditions of an employment contract and offer letter with a potential new hire in Malta:
Legal Aspects of Employment Agreements in Malta

The ideal practice in Malta is to have a solid, written contract in place, either in English or Maltese, that details the conditions of the employee's remuneration, benefits, and termination criteria. 40 hours per week is the standard, however contracts may be for longer or shorter periods of time (up to four years). Salary and any other remuneration figures in an offer letter or job contract in Malta should be stated in Euros rather than an other currency. One year is possible as a maximum for the trial period. There is a one-week notice requirement for any contract that is longer than one month. If you utilize our employer of record and PEO service in Malta, we will provide you with a comprehensive employment contract form as part of our service.
Visit to Malta for Vacation

During the year, Maltese citizens have 14 days off. If a federal holiday comes on a day that is not a workday, regular workers get an extra day off in lieu, which must be used on the same day as the holiday. The company is free to accommodate the employee's preferred date.

Holidays celebrated include New Year's Day, the Feast of Saint Paul's Shipwreck, the Feast of Saint Joseph, and Good Friday.

A Maltese Vacation

Generally speaking, full-time workers are guaranteed at least 24 paid days off every year. Benefit eligibility for paid time off starts on the first day of work and follows the calendar year.

If both the employer and employee agree, employees may roll over up to half of their unused annual leave to the next year.

In the event of termination, monetary compensation cannot replace a minimum period of four weeks. When an employee is let go, they should be paid for any unused vacation or sick time.
