Malta HR support for overseas employers
Practical advice for companies outside Malta that employ people on the islands, with the local rules explained in plain terms.
- Onboarding and probation, including the longer probation for senior roles
- Leave hours, public holidays and urgent family leave
- Sick leave, medical certificates and performance issues
- Pay reviews, promotions and changes to terms
- Redundancy planning and the last-in-first-out rule
- Notice periods, final pay and the Jobsplus termination form
In Malta, dismissing someone after probation needs a good and sufficient cause, and claims can reach the Industrial Tribunal within four months. We help you plan each step and keep the paperwork in order.
Maltese payroll without errors
Maltese payroll means correct FSS tax, capped Class 1 contributions, COLA and statutory bonuses, month after month. Small mistakes upset employees and can bring penalties from the MTCA.
- Monthly payroll, including the March, June, September and December bonuses
- FSS tax and social security deductions with the monthly FS5
- Commission, overtime and variable pay
- Expenses and payments to third parties
- FS3 statements, FS7 reconciliation and clear payroll records
Benefits Maltese candidates value
Malta’s legal minimums are the starting point, but competitive employers in sectors like iGaming and financial services usually add more. We help you choose benefits that suit the role and the local market.
- Private health insurance
- Transport, parking or relocation support
- Voluntary occupational pension contributions
- Life insurance and income protection
- Extra leave above the legal minimum
How does EOR Malta work?
Our Maltese company becomes the employer, issues the contract and registers the new starter with Jobsplus and the tax authority.
The employee takes direction from you on tasks, targets and performance, just like the rest of your team.
We run payroll, pay tax and social security to the MTCA, and keep employment records up to date under Maltese law.
We advise on working hours, leave, remote work, IP and restrictive covenants that a Maltese court is likely to uphold.
How does EOR Malta compare with other providers?
Other providers may charge less. We offer a flat fee from €499 a month, specialists who work only on Malta, and contracts that fit the way your team works.
