| Welcome note |
The role of the employer carries with it the burden of many responsibilities emanating from the employer-worker relationships within the company. These responsibilities entail such critically sensitive elements as employee relations, relations with government bodies and interpretation of legislation.
Regardless of whether the employer is a large corporation or a small office business, unless these elements are handled competently and professionally they can pose a serious threat of employee unrest, with its negative impact on the Company's performance and reputation.
In the volatile arenas of industrial relations and social policy, an employer requires immediate expert advice and effective action. It is clear that there is much advantage in fostering an organised unity between all employers. Through this unity comes individual strength.
This is the raison d'être of the Malta Employers' Association.

A Credible Budget 2007 - Thursday, October 19, 2006
The MEA declared that the 2007 Budget is a credible one that includes various measures that are beneficial to employers and workers. The revision of the income tax bands will serve to increase disposable incomes of middle income families, and the extension of the 15% tax band will incentivise employees to work overtime rather than opt for part time employment which, in many instances, implied a lower marginal tax rate for many employees. Low income earners who are not subject to income tax will benefit from the energy benefit, amongst other measures.
