The Domestic Contract is essential for formalizing employment relationships in private household settings under Maltese law. This document is typically used when engaging domestic workers for various household duties, including cleaning, cooking, childcare, elderly care, or general household management. The contract ensures compliance with Malta's employment legislation, particularly the Employment and Industrial Relations Act and specific Domestic Service Workers Regulations. It provides clear terms regarding duties, compensation, working hours, leave entitlements, and living arrangements (if applicable), while protecting both parties' rights and obligations. This type of agreement is crucial for establishing legal clarity and preventing potential disputes in domestic employment relationships.
