Scheme Benefits

This unique Atypical In-Work Benefit Scheme celebrates the adaptability of private sector employees who worked shifts on weekends or after 6pm, with gross emolument income not exceeding €25,000 per year. Covering industries like accommodation, food services, manufacturing, transport, storage, and wholesale and retail trade, this scheme only applies to primary employment. It's a nod to the hard work of around 40,000 employees, injecting approximately €6 million into the Maltese economy, acknowledging the extraordinary efforts made during the year.

The €150 benefit is a tangible acknowledgment of the commitment of workers in key sectors with unconventional hours. It encourages continued participation in pivotal industries, supporting the stability and growth of essential services.

In order to implement this budget measure, Jobsplus will be opening the data collection exercise with all relevant employers in order to collate working pattern information. Note that this is the second round of applications for 2023. As a result, the list will only include employees whose working patterns were never received.

As an Employer operating within these specific sectors, we kindly ask you to:
