For an employer and an employee in Malta who both want the job to end on an agreed date, on an indefinite or a fixed-term contract: an agreement that sets the last day, the final wages, the unused leave and the proportionate statutory bonuses due by the next pay day, any further sum agreed, the FS3 and the Jobsplus form, and the return of property, and that leaves the Industrial Tribunal's four months untouched. Both sign two copies.

Common questions
- Why end a job in Malta by mutual agreement instead of a resignation?
- It lets both sides fix the last day without the notice article 36(5) of Cap. 452 requires, and it matters most on a fixed-term contract: there, whoever ends the contract early without good and sufficient cause owes the other half the wages for the rest of the term (article 36(11)–(12)), while an agreed end owes neither side anything for the early end.
- What must still be paid when employment in Malta ends by agreement?
- The wages up to the last day, the leave not taken and the proportionate share of the statutory bonuses and income supplement, all by the next pay day (articles 22(2) and 23 of Cap. 452). Any further sum is what the parties agree; write the gross amount in the agreement so that both know what the FS3 will show.
- Does signing this agreement stop me going to the Industrial Tribunal in Malta?
- No. The agreement says so in terms: a worker who believes a right was breached, for example that the agreement hid a dismissal, may still refer the complaint to the Industrial Tribunal, no later than four months from the effective date of the alleged breach (article 75(3) of Cap. 452).
