All employees need to be 18 years of age by the beginning of

those who will be 18 years of age by the beginning of Skolasajf).
I cannot work from the beginning of Skolasajf? Can I
still apply?
We suggest that you apply just the same and send an email to
hr.fes@gov.mt with your details and the
dates that you cannot work. However kindly keep in mind that placements are
first given to those who can work the full eight weeks.
Moreover, we will be issuing a late call for those
applicants who will be interested to work the last 4 weeks of Skola Sajf.
I wish to apply for Skola Sajf, however I will be going
abroad for two weeks in mid-Summer? Can I still apply from now?
We don’t suggest that you apply from now, once you return
back from your trip, you may apply if the Skola Sajf calls are still open.
How will I know that I have been chosen?
You will first receive an email with the result and ranking
obtained. Following this you will receive a placement request with a date for
contract signing.
What if I do not like the location where I am placed?
Should you decide that you want an alternative placement you
need to send an email to hr.fes@gov.mt with
a list of preferred localities. By doing so you would have lost the placement
given to you. However kindly keep in mind that placements are done
according to ranking and according to the needs of the centre.
Conditions of Work
Questions
How many hours of Vacation leave do I have?
Leave accumulates pro-rata according to the hours worked.
However, if you work through all the core hours for the full eight weeks there
will be an average of 16 hours of leave entitlement.
How many sick leave days I am entitled to?
Sick leave like Vacation leave is pro-rata and accumulates
depending on the number of hours worked.
What is the sick leave procedure?
If you are sick and cannot report to work, it is important
to email or call the centre coordinator informing him/her of the matter as
early as possible, so that the centre coordinator would be in time to do
alternative arrangements. You are also to send an email to the HR
Department on hr.fes@gov.mt informing them
of your sickness and of the address where you will be staying during your
sickness. It is important to submit a blue medical certificate on your
return to work to the centre coordinator / PER. The FES reserves the right to
send the doctor to any sick employee. If the employee is not at home s/he has
to provide proof that at the time the employee was at the doctor. If no proof
is provided, the sick leave will not be paid.
Is it possible to resign from the contract during
Skolasajf?
You are bound by a definite contract of eight weeks. Ideally
you work all of it since if you resign, it will negatively affect the
operations of the centre. Should you still require resigning, kindly note
that you need to provide one week notice, so to give enough time for a
replacement to be found.
Can I work only in the afternoon?
Some of our centres do offer service from 12:30 pm till
17:30 pm. In this case we suggest you apply through the normal call and email
us on hr.fes@gov.mt and we will discuss with
you a way forward.
