• Request for an employer's reference (Malta)

  For an employee or former employee in Malta who needs a written reference or certificate of service for a new job, a rental or a permit: a polite letter asking the employer to confirm your dates of employment and job title, or also your duties and its view of your work, and where to send it. For proof of dates alone, your Jobsplus employment history is free. Send it by email and keep a copy.

• Annual leave request (Malta)

  For an employee in Malta who wants to book paid annual leave: a dated written request to the employer giving the first and last day and the length of the leave, under the Organisation of Working Time Regulations (S.L. 452.87) and your contract, and asking for written approval or other dates. It leaves a record if the leave is later disputed or not paid. Send it by email and keep a copy.

• Freelance services agreement (Malta)

  For a self-employed person or small business in Malta who provides services to a client on their own account — design, writing, IT, translation, consulting. The agreement sets the services, the fees and invoicing, who owns the work, confidentiality and how either side ends it. It is a contract for services, not of service: under the Employment Status National Standard Order (S.L. 452.108), a person who meets five of its eight criteria is treated as an employee whatever the contract says. Both sign it.

• Acknowledgement of debt (Malta)

  For a debtor in Malta who confirms in writing how much they owe a creditor, and for the creditor who asks for it — a private loan, unpaid rent, money owed between friends or businesses. Signed by the debtor, the acknowledgement interrupts prescription under article 2133 of the Civil Code (Cap. 16), so the time already run no longer counts. An optional plan sets monthly instalments. The debtor signs; the creditor keeps the original.

• Payment demand to a business (Malta)

  For a business or self-employed person in Malta owed money by another business for goods or services: invoices unpaid past their due date. The letter lists the invoices, claims the total within 14 days, and claims interest on a commercial debt — the Civil Code's 8% a year from the due date, or late-payment interest and €40 compensation under the Commercial Code's rules between businesses. It names the next step: the Small Claims Tribunal (up to €5,000) or judicial proceedings. Send it by registered letter and keep the post office receipt.

• Letter asking a landlord to register the lease (Malta)

  For a tenant in Malta whose landlord has not registered the lease with the Housing Authority. The letter reminds the landlord that the Private Residential Leases Act requires registration online within 30 days of the start, asks for it within seven days with confirmation, and says that otherwise you will register the lease yourself at the landlord's expense and keep back part of the rent to recover the fee, as article 4(4) allows. Send it by registered letter and keep the post office receipt.
