At the centre of labour law reforms is the strengthening of the work-life balance, Equality Minister Helena Dalli said on the eve of Labour Day (1 May).
Among the reforms is the requirement for employers to establish a clear policy which favours family life. In addition, employers will have to provide detailed pay slips, highlighting the normal hours worked, overtime, hours worked on Sundays and public holidays, leave and sick leave.
When it comes to the transfer of businesses, new laws will dictate that work conditions for employees cannot just be unilaterally changed, providing stability.
Dalli explained how some reforms strengthen the equal work for equal pay concept through the Temporary Agency Workers Regulations. These regulations will address the frustration workers feel who are employed on a temporary basis and ensure that they get paid equally for the same work as others within a particular company.
"Government will continue to work so that our country, which is passing through unprecedented economic growth, continues to priorities work conditions for employees," Dalli said.
