Malta: national transposition

How Directive (EU) 2023/970, the EU Pay Transparency Directive, has been brought into national law.

Status checked on September 27, 2026. Laws are still being adopted, so confirm against the official source before relying on this.

Status: Transposed
National law: Equal Pay (Transparency and Reporting) Regulations, 2026 (L.N. 173 of 2026); Published: June 5, 2026
In force since: June 5, 2026

What this means for employers

The national law, not the directive, is what binds employers. Member states may go further than the directive (Article 27), so thresholds, deadlines and penalties can differ from the EU minimum. Check the act itself for the rules that apply to you.
