Working time records in Malta
The Organisation of Working Time Regulations (S.L. 452.87) cap average weekly working time, including overtime, at 48 hours calculated over a 17-week reference period. An employee may agree in writing to work beyond 48 hours — the opt-out — and may revoke that agreement on reasonable notice. Employers must keep accurate and up-to-date records of hours worked and of any opt-out agreements, available for inspection by the Department for Industrial and Employment Relations, and must specifically keep a record of employees who work more than 48 hours a week so it can be produced on request. Daily rest is 11 consecutive hours; overtime rates themselves are set by the applicable Wage Regulation Order or collective agreement rather than by the Regulations.
Records may be kept on paper or electronically, provided they are accurate and available to the Department for Industrial and Employment Relations on request.
