HR Advisory Services 

Employment obligations in Malta apply to every business, regardless of size. Yet many organisations leave HR decisions to line managers or finance teams, who then struggle with Wage Regulation Orders, terminations, shift patterns, or DIER inspections without structured support. 

HR is where law, practice, and people management intersect. Getting it right means having: 

• Policies aligned with Maltese and EU employment rules 
• Processes managers can follow easily 
• Clear guidance for sensitive issues like grievances, restructurings, or cross-border employment. 

At EMCS, we provide practical, on-demand HR advisory support—from one-off consultations to full compliance reviews and ongoing guidance as your organisation grows. When specialist legal input is required, we help you brief and coordinate with employment lawyers so HR, legal, and operations stay aligned.
