The Basic Reference Letter is a fundamental employment document used in Malta when an employee leaves an organization or needs to verify their employment history. This document serves as an official record of employment, typically requested for job applications, visa purposes, or financial applications. Under Maltese employment law, while there is no statutory obligation to provide a reference letter, it is common practice and considered good business conduct. The Basic Reference Letter should comply with Malta's Data Protection Act and the EU's GDPR requirements, containing factual information about the employment relationship while avoiding potentially defamatory statements. The document typically confirms dates of employment, position(s) held, and main responsibilities, providing a neutral and objective account of the employment relationship.
