[1] As Government Whip, Ellul was also part of the Labour Party Executive arm.
[3] Under Ellul's tenure as Parliamentary Secretary for Social Dialogue, various new laws were enacted related to worker's rights.
These regulations were one of the first to be enacted in Europe, and they include a rebuttable presumption of employment, as well as obligations stating that workers in the sector must be provided with a contract of employment, a detailed payslip, statutory bonuses, and overtime rates paid by the hour.
As part of this law, penalties were raised, a bank guarantee requiring agencies to fork out €20,000 + 2% of the company's payroll was introduced, and agencies have been barred from requesting payments from employees, or working with third parties who request such payments.
In October of 2023, it was announced that the Low Wage Commission which falls under Ellul's remit, had unanimously agreed that the minimum wage in Malta will rise to €213.54 per week as from 1 January 2024, inclusive of the Cost of Living Adjustment.
