Most of the European Union’s rules and regulations concerning labour matters apply to businesses of all sizes. In spite of this, in recent years, legislation intended distinctively either for large companies or for small and medium-sized businesses was enacted to regulate matters of concern in the field. Dr Charlotte Camilleri, Executive in EU & Legal Affairs will be delving into the regulations targeted exclusively at small and medium-sized businesses in the fields of employment, industrial relations and social policy.
The aim of this information session is to provide participants with an overview of domestic legislation pertaining to employment and industrial relations particularly the rights and obligations of workers and their employers.
Work related stress is gaining more prominence in the international and local labour agenda. It is being claimed that it is the second commonest cause of work related health problems after back pain. Studies show that up to 25% of workers across Europe complain of stress at work, while up to 50% to 60% of all working days lost may be due to stress.
An information session was held on 24 May 2013. The scope of this information session was to:
Two important employment related legal notices have been published and are in force. The first is L.N.44 of 2012: Employment Status National Standard Order, and the other is L.N. 46 of 2012: Overtime Regulations. The first one sets restrictive criteria to determine whether a person should be considered as an employee or self employed, whereas the legal notice on overtime addresses the option for banking of hours arrangements and the conditions under which these can be applied.
These are very important legislative measures that will have an impact on many businesses. For this reason we issued two UPDATEs to our members to give you an explanation about the contents. An information session was organised on 16 February 2012. During this event, Dr Charlotte Camilleri and Mr Joseph Farrugia gave two presentations about these Legal Notices. Dr Noel Vella, Director, Department for Industrial and Employment Relations was also present and he answered questions from the floor.
