Webinar: Malta’s New Pay Transparency Regulations

By means of Legal Notice 173 of 2026, the Government of Malta has implemented the Pay Transparency Directive in a regulation entitled ‘Equal Pay (Transparency and Reporting) Regulations 2026′, which came into force on the 5th June 2026.

The regulations are already in effect, which means that the core obligations – categorisation for establishing work of equal value, employees’ right to pay information, and transparency of pay structure criteria are legal requirements for all employers. 

Key provisions include demanding timelines for pay gap reporting and pay information request responses, expanded transparency obligations, and extensive enforcement provisions, which will change how litigation in this area is handled. The provisions regarding existing collective agreements and the use of the single-source argument in claims of equal value are of particular interest.

Employment Practice Lead at Ganado Advocates, Matthew Brincat, the representative of the Chamber who was directly involved in the negotiations which led to the legal notice and Senior Associate Lara Pace from Ganado Advocates, together with RSM Malta’s Roberta Buhagiar, Director of Governance, Risk and Compliance and Yashar Dominic Klipp, Pay Transparency Lead, will lead participants through an interactive webinar which will highlight key shifts, clarifications, and what you need to do to comply.
