Mauritius: Launch of workers’ pocket guide on the Employment Rights Act

A workers’ pocket guide to sensitise both local and foreign workers, on their rights as laid out in the Employment Rights Act 2008, was launched on September 12 by the Minister of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment, Mr Shakeel Mohamed, in Port Louis. 

An initiative of the Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment, the guide is a first in a series of other publications by the Ministry with regards to labour related issues.

It covers, amongst others, terms and conditions of employment, namely working hours; payment of overtime, meal allowance, travelling benefits, end-of-the-year bonus; leave; discrimination at work; protection against termination of agreement; payment of severance allowance; and violence at work.
