About the Course
Payroll sits at the intersection of HR, finance and law — and in Mauritius it carries real statutory weight. An overtime rate applied incorrectly, a missed PRGF contribution or a late MRA return can mean penalties, back-pay claims and employees who lose trust in their employer. Yet payroll is usually learned on the job, inherited from whoever did it before, errors included.
This payroll administration course replaces guesswork with method. Taught by practising payroll and HR experts, it walks you through the complete Mauritian payroll cycle with worked examples you calculate yourself — from gross pay, overtime and leave pay to statutory deductions, contributions and final settlements. It pairs naturally with our HR Administration Course and Workers' Rights Act Training, forms part of the pathway to the Diploma in HR Management, and can be delivered in-house through our corporate training solutions.
What You Will Learn
- The Complete Monthly Payroll Cycle in Mauritius
- Salary Structures: Basic Pay, Allowances & Benefits
- Overtime, Public Holiday & Night Shift Pay Calculations
- Leave Pay: Annual, Sick, Maternity & Unpaid Leave on the Payroll
- End-of-Year Bonus (13th Month): Eligibility & Calculation
- PAYE: Income Tax Deductions & the Cumulative System
- CSG & Social Contributions: Rates, Bands & Employer Obligations
- PRGF Contributions & Portable Gratuity Obligations
- MRA Returns & Filing Deadlines: Monthly & Annual Obligations
- Payslips, Payroll Records & Confidentiality Requirements
- Final Settlements: Resignations, Terminations & Severance on the Payroll
- Payroll Software & HRIS: Controls, Checks & Common Errors
Who Should Enrol?
- Payroll clerks and payroll officers who learned on the job and want to validate and formalise their knowledge
- HR assistants and HR administrators who prepare or check payroll inputs each month
- Accounts clerks and finance staff who have inherited payroll responsibility
- SME owners in Mauritius who run their own payroll and want to be sure it is compliant
- Career changers seeking a practical, always-in-demand skill for HR and finance roles

What Our Participants Say
Payroll officers, HR staff and business owners across Mauritius have brought accuracy and confidence to their payroll after training with DNB Business Institute.
"I inherited our payroll from a colleague who left, with no handover. This course gave me the full picture — the worked examples on overtime and end-of-year bonus showed me two calculations we had been doing wrong for years. We corrected them before it became a problem."
"The CSG and PRGF modules alone were worth it. I finally understand what we deduct, what we contribute and when the returns are due — instead of just copying last month's figures and hoping for the best."
"As a small business owner doing my own payroll for 12 staff, I was never sure I had the final settlements right when someone left. Now I have a checklist for every scenario — and my company claimed the HRDC refund on the fee."
Approved Training. Real Refunds.
