FAQ
View all FAQ →Mauritius recognizes three main contract types: permanent contracts (open-ended), fixed-term contracts (for a specific period, renewable up to 2 years), and apprenticeship contracts (for skill development). All contracts must comply with the Employment Rights Act 2008 and specify terms including salary, duties, and conditions.
The notice period depends on the length of service: 8 days for less than 6 months, 15 days for 6 months to 2 years, and 1 month for over 2 years of employment. Employers must provide written notice and follow proper termination procedures outlined in the Employment Rights Act to avoid legal claims.
Employees are entitled to a minimum of 10 working days of annual leave per year, which can be increased based on company policies or collective agreements. Public holidays (typically 14-15 days) are also fully paid, and employees cannot be forced to work on these days except in essential services.
