Notice period calculator Malta
On a contract for an indefinite time, both you and your employer have to give notice to end it. The length depends on how long you have worked for the same employer.
Enter your start date and the date notice is given. You get the notice period, when it ends and, if you add your wage, the pay due if notice is not given.
How it's calculated
- More than one month and up to six months: 1 week week. More than six months and up to two years: 2 weeks weeks.
- More than two years and up to four: 4 weeks weeks. More than four years and up to seven: 8 weeks weeks.
- After seven years, one more week for every year or part of a year, up to 12 weeks weeks.
- The notice starts on the working day after it is given.
An example
With three years and one month of service, the notice period is 4 weeks weeks for both sides.
Frequently asked questions
What if my employer does not give notice?
The employer has to pay you the wages for the whole notice period.
What if I resign without notice?
You owe the employer half the wages for the notice period.
Can my employer ask me to stop working during the notice period?
When you resign, your employer can let you work until the end or pay you the wages for the rest of the notice period. When your employer gives notice, you can ask to be paid half the wages for the rest of the period instead of working it.
Can notice be given during maternity leave?
