Employing in Malta

Employees in Malta enjoy protections against discrimination based on age, religion, sexual orientation, gender expression, and race.

Common questions that could come up during the hiring process include the minimum wage, overtime rates, and guaranteed paid time off. Remote can help you offer a complete, competitive, and compliant benefits package to your employees in Malta.

Minimum Wage

The minimum wage in Malta is EUR 961.05 per month or EUR 11,532.56 per year, based on a standard 40-hour workweek. This rate is effective starting January 1, 2025.

Payroll Cycle

For customers of Remote, all employee payments will be made in equal monthly instalments on or before the last working day of each calendar month, payable in arrears.

Onboarding Time

We can help you get a new employee started in Malta fast. The minimum onboarding time we need is only 3 working days.

Our team ensures your employees are onboarded and paid as quickly as possible while keeping your business compliant with all local employment legislation. The minimum onboarding time begins after the employee submits all required information onto the Remote platform. The onboarding timeline is also dependent upon registration with local authorities.

For all non-nationals of the country of employment, the Right to Work assessment (if applicable) will add three extra days to the total time to onboard. There may be extra time required if we need to follow-up on the right to work assessment.

Please note, payroll cut-off dates can impact the actual first day of employment. Remote has a payroll cut-off date of the 10th of the month unless otherwise specified.

Facts & Stats

Malta is a popular destination for tourists from Europe and the world over. The country’s pristine waters, 15th century architecture, and rich history are all drawcards for a growing number of digital nomads and remote workers.

But for businesses looking to expand, Malta offers an industrialised economy with low corporate taxes, strong GDP growth, a high income, a bilingual population, a strong democracy (18th best), and a growing IT industry.
