The Malta Employers’ Association is organising an Information Session on: The Proposed Equality Bills – Implications for Employers, on Friday, 17 February 2017 at the Mediterranean Conference Centre, Valletta.
Over the past year, the Ministry for Social Dialogue, Consumer Affairs and Civil Liberties has issued draft legislation, namely The Equality Act and the Human Rights and Equality Commission Act, which has widened the scope of existent legislation to cover all spheres of life. MEA has been heavily involved in the debate about this legislation since numerous sections impact heavily on the obligations of employers. The Association has voiced strong objections to particular proposals which it deems to be not legally correct, draconian and impractical.

The Malta Employers’ Association is organising an Information Session on: GDPR Compliance – New Regulation on Data Protection starting May 2018, on Thursday, 19 October 2017 at the Phoenicia Hotel, The Mall, Floriana.

In April 2016 the General Data Protection Regulations were adopted at EU level. The GDPR has to be enforced by the 25th May 2018. Companies that fail to achieve GDPR compliance before the deadline will be subject to stiff penalties and fines.

A current feature of the Labour market is an ever increasing demand for Foreigners working in Malta, which at last count has exceeded 27 thousand persons. The demand for such personnel cuts across many sectors of the economy, and the Malta Employers’ Association is concerned about difficulties which many companies are facing in engaging foreign employees. These difficulties mostly centre around the timely issuing of visas to enable non-Maltese to work legitimately in companies operating in Malta.
In response to an increasing number of queries from employers about the procedures and delays in the granting of permits for foreign employees, the Malta Employers’ Association organised an information session on the 16th March 2016 at the Mediterranean Conference Centre.
The seminar was well attended and was addressed by Mr. Joseph Farrugia (MEA Director General), Mr. Ryan Spagnol (Senior Manager, Citizen and Expatriate Affairs, Identity Malta Agency); Mr. Mario Xuereb (Head of Division – Employment Services, Employment and Training Corporation); Mr. Neil Harrison (Advisor on VISA related Matters, Identity Malta Agency); and Inspector Mario Haber, (Immigration Section, Police Commission).
