About the Course
Employment law in Mauritius has changed significantly since the Workers' Rights Act 2019 came into force, and the cost of getting it wrong keeps rising — unjustified dismissal awards, disputes before the Commission for Conciliation and Mediation, back-pay claims and reputational damage. Yet most HR practitioners and managers have never received structured training on the law they apply every day.
This employment law course closes that gap. Delivered by practising HR experts with decades of hands-on experience in Mauritian workplaces, it translates the legislation into what you actually do: drafting contracts, calculating leave and overtime, running fair disciplinary hearings and ending employment correctly. The course strengthens our HR Administration Course and Performance Management Course, forms a core part of the Diploma in HR Management, and can be delivered in-house through our corporate training solutions.
What You Will Learn
- Overview of the Workers' Rights Act 2019 & Employment Relations Act
- Contracts of Employment: Types, Clauses & Common Mistakes
- Working Hours, Overtime & Flexible Working Arrangements
- Leave Entitlements: Annual, Sick, Maternity, Paternity & Special Leave
- Remuneration, End-of-Year Bonus & Statutory Payments
- Termination of Employment, Notice & Severance Allowance
- Disciplinary Procedures, Hearings & Fair Process
- Redundancy, Restructuring & the Redundancy Board
- Discrimination, Harassment & Equal Opportunity at Work
- Portable Retirement Gratuity Fund (PRGF) & Social Contributions Awareness
- Occupational Safety & Health Obligations for Employers
- Labour Disputes: Conciliation, Mediation & Where Cases Go Wrong

What Our Participants Say
HR professionals, managers and business owners across Mauritius trust DNB Business Institute to make employment law clear, practical and usable.
"I had been doing HR for six years without ever reading the Workers' Rights Act properly. This course walked us through it section by section with real examples. I finally understand exactly what we can and cannot do — and I've already corrected two of our contract templates."
"A dismissal we handled badly a few years ago cost us dearly. After this course, our managers follow a proper disciplinary procedure with documentation at every step. The trainer's real-life examples from Mauritian workplaces made all the difference."
"As a payroll officer, the modules on overtime, leave entitlements and end-of-year bonus answered questions I'd been guessing at for years. Clear, practical and directly relevant to Mauritius — and my employer claimed the HRDC refund."
