What legal requirements exist for employment in Malta
Employers must have a registered business entity in Malta through the Maltese Trade Register before hiring employees.
Malta operates a robust social security system that covers healthcare, pensions, sickness benefits, maternity leave, and unemployment assistance. Employers must register employees for social security and contribute a percentage of gross salary to the national insurance fund on a monthly basis.
Employers should be aware of employee rights related to termination, notice periods, and protection against unfair dismissal. At-will employment relationships don’t exist in Malta. In other words, an employer can only terminate an employee for cause and must give the employee notice of the termination.
The labour law in Malta protects employees from discrimination against skin colour, nationality, race, ethnicity, political views, and disability.
Employers must provide a safe working environment and comply with health and safety regulations.
Employees must receive an employment contract in written or electronic form. The contract must outline the scope of work, breaks, wages, working hours, social insurance and hygiene conditions.
Malta has active trade unions, and employers should be aware of any union-related considerations or requirements.
It’s crucial to stay informed about any updates or changes in employment legislation and laws in Malta. Employers can benefit from seeking legal advice or consulting with local business authorities before hiring employees from Malta.

What you need to know?
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party service provider that legally employs your workers on your behalf. While you manage daily work responsibilities, an EOR provider will take over administrative and compliance tasks, such as payroll processing, tax withholding, benefits administration, and compliance with all the local labour laws.
The costs for using an Employer of Record may differ due to provider services and countries, and typically include a monthly fee per employee, which covers administrative services, payroll processing, and compliance.
Additional expenses may apply depending on benefits, taxes, or customised support needs. As an EOR provider trusted by global companies in 85+ countries, Native Teams offers a flexible and transparent pricing structure, depending on your unique business needs.
Businesses can access our all-inclusive solution to hire employees and manage their employment in compliance with Maltese labour laws. Check our pricing page to see what we offer for your business.
An EOR fully assumes legal employment responsibilities like payroll, taxes, and compliance, while a PEO shares these responsibilities with the client in a co-employment arrangement. EORs are ideal for companies expanding into new regions without legal entities, whereas PEOs are used by businesses already operating in a country to streamline HR functions.
EOR providers act as legal employer, managing payroll, benefits, and employment contracts while ensuring compliance with labour laws. They reduce risk by assuming liability for employment issues and provide HR support, enabling businesses to focus on core operations.
Yes, it is entirely legal. Native Teams acts as the official employer in Malta, meeting all regulatory requirements for hiring, taxation, and social contributions.

There is no legal limit on the number of employees a company can hire in Malta, as long as labour laws are followed. The number you can hire depends on your business needs, financial capacity, and ability to manage staff effectively.
