A Note to Employers
Take care of your employees. Your actions — or inaction — can have a significant impact on their lives.
For many third-country national employees, their ability to legally live and work in Malta is closely linked to their employment and to the employer fulfilling the necessary obligations on time.
Failing to register an employee correctly with Jobsplus, submitting applications late, or omitting important documentation can have serious consequences for the employee — including difficulties with the renewal of their residence and work authorisation and, potentially, their legal status in Malta.
Behind every application is a person whose livelihood, stability and future may depend on it.
Employ responsibly. Act on time. Get the paperwork right.
