Is my employer allowed to monitor my personal emails on the company laptop? 1 answer
1 answerI use a company-issued laptop for work in Malta, and I recently found out my employer has been monitoring all activity on it, including personal emails I occasionally checked during breaks using my own personal account. Is this legal, and did they need to tell me beforehand?
I’m resigning from my job in Malta and I still have about eight days of annual leave that I never got around to using this year. My employer says leave that isn’t used before the last working day is simply lost. Is that actually correct, or should I be paid out for it?
I started a new job in Malta with a stated six-month probation period in my contract, but on the day it was due to end, my employer told me verbally that it’s being extended by another three months, without giving any real explanation. Can they just do this unilaterally?
I’m employed full-time in Malta on a standard five-day contract, but for the past two months my manager has been scheduling me for six days a week, claiming it’s ‘temporary’ due to staff shortages, without any additional pay for the extra day. Is this legal, and what can I do about it?
I had worked at the same company in Malta for almost four years on an indefinite contract when I was called into a meeting and told to leave immediately, no notice, no explanation beyond ‘restructuring’. I wasn’t accused of any misconduct. Is this actually allowed?
Can my employer force me to work on a public holiday without extra pay? 1 answer
1 answerI was scheduled to work on a public holiday in Malta, which I didn’t mind in principle, but I later found out from a colleague that public holiday work is supposed to come with extra compensation, and I was just paid my normal daily rate with no additional amount added. Is my colleague right?
Can my employer make me sign a new contract with worse terms or lose my job? 1 answer
1 answerMy employer in Malta told all staff that going forward, everyone needs to sign a new employment contract with reduced benefits and slightly lower base pay, framed as necessary for the company’s survival, and that anyone who doesn’t sign will effectively be treated as having resigned. Can they legally pressure me like this?
I recently resigned from a company in Malta and my employment contract includes a clause preventing me from working for any competitor anywhere in Malta for two years after leaving. I’ve been offered a great role at a similar company. Can my former employer actually stop me from taking it?
