Jobsplus would like to inform the public that applications for the In-Work Benefit for employees with atypical working hours will be re-opened. This opportunity is intended for employees whose employers failed to submit their applications during
the initial period for the year 2024. The aim is to ensure that all eligible employees
with atypical working hours receive this benefit.
Applications can be submitted online at https://jobsplus.gov.mt/atypical starting
from 27th January. This timeline allows employers sufficient time to gather the
necessary information and submit the required applications.
