Workers' rights charter to be distributed to households

  A workers' rights charter will be distributed to every Maltese household to explain in simple terms the rights and obligations at the place of work.  The charter, in Maltese and English, is a simplified version of the law focusing on the contract of service, probation, minimum wage, leave and sick leave, termination notice, among others. The government is also in the process of amending the employment legislation, which will be launched for consultation before the end of year, Social Dialogue Minister Helena Dalli said today.  Dr Dalli said disagreements between employers and employees often arise from a lack of understanding or knowledge of their rights and duties. "Simplifying the law helps increase harmony between two sides as well as making workers more assertive," Dr Dalli said.
