The Engagement and Termination Forms are mandatory for registering any paid employment in Malta. The collection and updating of employment records is stipulated in Articles 35-45 (Part V) of the Employment and Training Service Act No. XXXIX of 2018 (Chapter 594). They serve several key purposes: providing official employment documents like job histories, responding to requests from public entities, and producing statistics about Malta's labour market. This data collection is vital for maintaining accurate and comprehensive employment records in the country.
