Workers’ Rights Act 2019 & Regulations Overview of Mauritius Labour Force and Employment Laws Mauritius has a dynamic labour market with a participation rate of approximately 58% and an employment rate above 92%. The country’s employment landscape is governed primarily by the Workers’ Rights Act 2019 (which repealed and replaced the former Labour Act and Employment Rights Act). This legislation applies to all employees in Mauritius, including foreign nationals, and covers every aspect of the employment relationship – from hiring to termination. 📌 Important note: The former Labour Act and the Employment Rights Act have been repealed and replaced by the Workers’ Rights Act 2019 (as amended up to 2025). This single piece of legislation now governs all employment relationships in Mauritius. For in‑depth training on the current law, enrol in our accredited course or contact us for corporate training.

Disturbance allowance: If a worker is required to work during unsocial hours, he/she shall be paid a disturbance allowance equivalent to one times his/her hourly wage for every hour worked during those hours, in addition to any other payment due. Definition of unsocial hours: Between 1 p.m. on a Saturday and 6 a.m. on the following Monday; and between 10 p.m. on a weekday and 6 a.m. on the following day. 2. Annual Leave (Section 45) After 12 months of continuous employment: 20 working days annual leave per subsequent 12‑month period (section 45(1)). Plus an additional 2 days per year (section 45(2)). Total = 22 days per year. Unused leave must be paid or accumulated at the worker’s option (section 45(8)). Part‑time workers receive annual leave calculated pro‑rata (section 45(5)). 3.
