Questions and answers about Employment Law
I was hired in Malta specifically for a marketing role, and after a management change, I was suddenly reassigned to a completely different administrative role with different duties, without ever being asked or consulted, though my pay has stayed the same for now. Can my employer just reassign me like this without my consent?
I have a manager title at my workplace in Malta, but my day-to-day duties are mostly the same as the staff I supposedly supervise. I regularly work well beyond my contracted hours and my employer says overtime rules don’t apply to me because I’m ‘management’. Is a job title alone enough to exclude someone from overtime protections?
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 reported to senior management at my company in Malta that I believed my direct manager was falsifying expense claims, based on documents I had legitimate access to as part of my role. Two weeks later I was suddenly dismissed for what they’re calling ‘performance issues’ that were never raised with me before. I think this is retaliation. What protections do I have?
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’ve been on certified sick leave from my job in Malta for several weeks due to a medical condition, with proper medical certificates submitted throughout. My employer has just informed me I’m being dismissed, citing ‘ongoing absence’ as the reason. Is it legal to dismiss someone specifically because they are on legitimate, certified sick leave?
Asked to invoice as ‘self-employed’ but it feels like a normal job. Risky? 1 answer
1 answerA company in Malta wants to bring me on to do essentially the same work as their regular staff, same hours, same office, same supervision, but wants me to invoice them as a self-employed contractor rather than being on payroll as an employee. Is this actually legal, and could it cause problems for me later?
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?
