Yes. A foreign company can hire employees in Mauritius legally and compliantly without incorporating a local subsidiary by using a Mauritius Employer of Record (EOR). The EOR’s registered Mauritius entity becomes the legal employer of record, managing all Workers’ Rights Act 2019 obligations, MRA PAYE registration and withholding, CSG employer and employee contributions, PRGF employer funding, HRDC levy, NSF deductions, and 13th-month bonus obligations on behalf of the foreign company. Africa Deployments Mauritius operates through Africa Deployments Ltd (BRN C19167158), a fully registered Mauritius company incorporated on 29 August 2019 under the Companies Act 2001.
Foreign employers hiring in Mauritius must comply with the Workers’ Rights Act 2019 (Act No. 20 of 2019), which governs employment contracts, working hours, leave entitlements, notice periods, PRGF, and the 13th-month bonus; the End of Year Gratuity Act 2001; the Revenue Act and MRA PAYE regulations via e-services; the Contribution Sociale Generalisee rules (CSG, replacing NPF since September 2020); the Human Resource Development Act (HRDC training levy); the National Savings Fund Act (NSF); the Data Protection Act 2017; the Immigration Act and EDB Occupation Permit regulations for foreign nationals; and the Companies Act 2001 for local entity obligations. Africa Deployments Mauritius manages full compliance with all applicable Mauritius employment and regulatory legislation.
Africa Deployments Mauritius can hire and onboard a new employee in Mauritius in as little as 48 hours. This includes drafting a Workers’ Rights Act 2019-compliant employment contract in English or French, completing MRA PAYE and CSG employee registration via e-services, activating PRGF and HRDC records, and processing the first payroll in MUR. No CBRD company registration, MRA employer number, or social contribution scheme waiting period is required, because Africa Deployments Ltd (BRN C19167158) has been registered and operational in Mauritius since August 2019.
In addition to the employee’s gross salary, a Mauritius employer must budget for the following mandatory employer statutory costs: CSG at 3% of basic salary for employees earning up to MUR 50,000 per month (6% for those earning above MUR 50,000); PRGF at 4.5% of basic salary for employees earning up to MUR 200,000 per month; HRDC training levy at 1.5% of basic monthly wages; mandatory 13th-month end-of-year bonus equivalent to one-twelfth of annual earnings; and annual salary compensation of MUR 635 per month in 2026 for employees earning up to MUR 50,000. NSF is employee-funded only (2.5%, capped at MUR 608 per month), with no employer counterpart. Africa Deployments Mauritius calculates and manages all employer cost obligations for every hired employee.
The Contribution Sociale Generalisee (CSG) is Mauritius’s national social security scheme, introduced in September 2020, replacing the former National Pensions Fund (NPF). All employers hiring in Mauritius must contribute CSG monthly alongside the employee’s contribution. For employees earning a monthly basic salary up to MUR 50,000, the employer contributes 3% and the employee contributes 1.5%. For employees earning above MUR 50,000, the employer contributes 6% and the employee contributes 3%, applied to the full salary. CSG is remitted to the MRA monthly via e-services alongside the PAYE return. Africa Deployments Mauritius calculates, deducts, and remits all CSG contributions as part of the standard monthly payroll process.
Yes. The Portable Retirement Gratuity Fund (PRGF), introduced under the Workers’ Rights Act 2019, requires every registered employer in Mauritius to contribute 4.5% of each employee’s monthly basic salary to the fund, administered by the MRA. The PRGF is portable across employers and is paid out to the employee on termination or retirement in addition to any other severance entitlements. The PRGF obligation does not apply to employees earning above MUR 200,000 basic salary per month. Africa Deployments Mauritius manages all PRGF monthly contributions as part of the standard payroll service for every hired employee.
Yes. The Human Resource Development Council (HRDC) training levy is a mandatory employer contribution of 1.5% of basic monthly wages, payable to the MRA alongside CSG and PAYE each month. The levy funds national workforce training programmes and is partially recoverable through HRDC-approved training grant applications. Africa Deployments Ltd (BRN C19167158) pays the HRDC levy for every employee on the Mauritius payroll and advises clients on available HRDC training grant recovery options.
The National Savings Fund (NSF) is a Mauritius employee savings scheme providing a lump-sum benefit on retirement or death. Employees contribute 2.5% of their monthly basic salary, capped at MUR 608 per month. NSF is an employee-side deduction only, with no employer contribution required. It is withheld from net pay and remitted to the MRA monthly. Africa Deployments Mauritius calculates, withholds, and remits NSF contributions for every employee on the Mauritius payroll as part of the standard monthly payroll process.
The national minimum wage in Mauritius is MUR 17,110 per month, effective from 1 January 2025. In 2026, a mandatory annual salary compensation of MUR 635 per month is additionally payable to all employees earning up to MUR 50,000 per month, bringing the effective monthly floor for minimum-wage employees to MUR 17,745 per month. Both the minimum wage and the salary compensation are set by gazette and reviewed annually by the Government of Mauritius. Africa Deployments Mauritius ensures all employment contracts and payroll runs comply with the current minimum wage and the gazetted salary compensation applicable to each year.
Under the Workers’ Rights Act 2019, all Mauritius employees who have completed 12 consecutive months of continuous service are entitled to 22 working days of paid annual leave per year, comprising 20 days of ordinary annual leave plus 2 additional days. Leave begins accruing from the first day of service and is pro-rated for periods shorter than 12 months. Unused annual leave at termination must be paid out in the final payroll. Africa Deployments Mauritius tracks, manages, and settles annual leave for every employee on the Mauritius payroll.
Following amendments to the Workers’ Rights Act 2019 effective from 7 June 2024, maternity leave in Mauritius is 16 consecutive weeks of fully paid leave for single births (18 weeks for multiple or premature births). Employees are additionally entitled to a MUR 3,000 maternity allowance on production of the birth certificate. Maternity leave requires 12 months of continuous service. The employer funds the full 16-week maternity entitlement directly. Africa Deployments Mauritius manages all maternity leave entitlements and payments as the registered employer for every employee on the Mauritius payroll.
Following amendments to the Workers’ Rights Act 2019 effective from 7 June 2024, paternity leave in Mauritius is 4 consecutive calendar weeks of fully paid leave (extended from 5 working days under the pre-June 2024 rules). Paternity leave requires 12 months of continuous service and must be taken continuously. The employer funds the full 4-week entitlement. Africa Deployments Mauritius ensures the correct June 2024 paternity leave entitlement is applied to all employment contracts and payroll calculations.
Yes. The end-of-year bonus is mandatory in Mauritius under the Workers’ Rights Act 2019 and the End of Year Gratuity Act 2001. Employees who have completed 12 consecutive months of service are entitled to one-twelfth of their annual earnings as a bonus, pro-rated for shorter periods. At least 75% of the bonus must be paid no later than five clear working days before 25 December, and the balance must be paid by the last working day of the calendar year. The bonus is subject to MRA PAYE and CSG. Africa Deployments Mauritius accrues the 13th-month obligation monthly and manages all disbursement and MRA reporting within the required statutory deadlines.
The Workers’ Rights Act 2019 sets the standard working week at 45 hours with a daily maximum of 10 hours. All employees are entitled to a minimum of 24 consecutive hours of weekly rest. Overtime must be compensated at 1.5 times the ordinary hourly rate for weekday overtime and rest-day work, at 2 times the ordinary rate (plus a substitute rest day) for public holiday work, or at 3 times the ordinary rate for overtime worked beyond normal hours on a public holiday. Managers earning above MUR 600,000 per year are exempt from daily and weekly hour limits. Africa Deployments Mauritius manages working time and overtime compliance for all employees.
Mauritius has 15 gazetted public holidays per year: New Year’s Day (1 January), New Year’s Day Holiday (2 January), Thaipoosam Cavadee (date moveable), Abolition of Slavery Day (1 February), Chinese Spring Festival (date moveable), Maha Shivaratree (date moveable), National Day (12 March), Ougadi (date moveable), Labour Day (1 May), Eid Ul Fitr (date moveable), Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (15 August), Ganesh Chaturthi (date moveable), Diwali (date moveable), All Saints Day (1 November), and Christmas Day (25 December). Public holiday pay is calculated at 2 times the ordinary hourly rate for hours worked during the public holiday, plus a substitute day off, or 3 times the rate for hours exceeding normal working hours on a public holiday.
The Workers’ Rights Act 2019 sets a statutory minimum notice period of 30 calendar days for all employees in Mauritius, applicable to both the employer and the employee. Notice may be served or paid in lieu if either party prefers immediate separation. Contractually agreed notice periods may exceed 30 calendar days for senior or professional roles but cannot be reduced below 30 calendar days except under a validly structured probationary period arrangement. Africa Deployments Mauritius manages all notice period obligations for every employee on the Mauritius payroll.
Mauritius statutory severance applies in cases of unjustified dismissal under the Workers’ Rights Act 2019 and in collective redundancy situations requiring Redundancy Board notification. For unjustified dismissal, the Industrial Court may award compensation of up to three months’ remuneration per year of continuous service. In a collective Reduction of Workforce, affected employees are entitled to three months’ remuneration per year of service plus the full accumulated PRGF balance, with mandatory Redundancy Board notification 30 days before termination letters are issued. Africa Deployments Mauritius manages all severance calculations, PRGF final settlement, and Redundancy Board compliance for employees on the Mauritius payroll.
Effective from 1 July 2025, Mauritius simplified personal income tax to three bands: 0% on annual chargeable income up to MUR 500,000 (approximately MUR 38,462 per month exempt threshold); 10% on annual income from MUR 500,001 to MUR 1,000,000; and 20% on annual income above MUR 1,000,000. Income tax is withheld monthly by the employer (PAYE) and remitted to the Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA) via e-services. Annual income statements are issued to all employees for MRA individual tax filing purposes. Africa Deployments Mauritius applies the correct 2026 MRA PAYE rates for every employee on the Mauritius payroll.
The Industrial Court is Mauritius’s specialist employment tribunal, established under the Industrial Relations Act 1973, with exclusive jurisdiction over all employment disputes including unjustified dismissal, breach of employment contracts, and enforcement of Workers’ Rights Act 2019 statutory rights. Employers found to have unjustly dismissed an employee may face compensation orders of up to three months’ remuneration per year of service. Africa Deployments Mauritius aligns all employment contracts, disciplinary procedures, and offboarding processes with Industrial Court requirements to protect clients from employment litigation exposure in Mauritius.
Yes. Foreign nationals can be hired to work in Mauritius provided they hold a valid Occupation Permit issued through the Economic Development Board (EDB) e-Immigration portal. For most professional roles, a ProPass Occupation Permit (minimum MUR 30,000 per month, 10-year validity) is the standard route. Senior executives may qualify for the Expert Pass (minimum MUR 250,000 per month, 10-year validity). Graduates of Mauritius institutions may apply for the Young Professional Occupation Permit (minimum MUR 25,000 per month, 3-year validity). Africa Deployments Ltd (BRN C19167158) can act as the registered Mauritius employer sponsor for Occupation Permit applications and manages the full EDB application process.
The Economic Development Board (EDB) issues three Occupation Permits for foreign workers employed in Mauritius: the ProPass Occupation Permit (OP) for professionals earning a minimum of MUR 30,000 per month (10-year validity, renewable); the Expert Pass Occupation Permit for senior executives or specialists earning a minimum of MUR 250,000 per month (10-year validity, renewable); and the Young Professional Occupation Permit for graduates of Mauritius institutions earning a minimum of MUR 25,000 per month (3-year validity, non-renewable for the same role). All Occupation Permit applications are submitted through the EDB e-Immigration portal and require a registered Mauritius employer sponsor. Africa Deployments Mauritius manages the full EDB application and renewal process.
The Data Protection Act 2017 (DPA 2017) governs the collection, processing, storage, and transfer of personal data in Mauritius, including all employee personal data such as national identity card numbers, payroll records, MRA PAYE numbers, bank account details, and employment histories. All employers in Mauritius must comply with the DPA 2017 when handling employee data, including appropriate data processing agreements with any service providers that process employee data on their behalf. Africa Deployments Mauritius complies fully with the Data Protection Act 2017 and maintains appropriate data processing agreements with all client companies.
Setting up a Mauritius local entity through the CBRD typically takes 1 to 4 weeks for the incorporation process, plus additional time for MRA employer registration, CSG and PRGF scheme enrollment, HRDC levy registration, and legal entity establishment, along with ongoing corporate compliance costs. An Employer of Record (EOR) such as Africa Deployments Mauritius enables immediate hiring through Africa Deployments Ltd’s existing registered entity (BRN C19167158) in as little as 48 hours, with no CBRD registration, no MRA employer number setup, and no statutory scheme enrollment required on your side. The EOR is the fastest, lowest-cost route to a compliant Mauritius workforce, particularly for initial market entry or small team deployments.
The Corporate and Business Registration Department (CBRD) is the Mauritius government body responsible for company incorporation, business registration, and corporate records. Foreign companies that want to employ workers directly in Mauritius must incorporate a local entity with the CBRD, register with the MRA for PAYE and CSG, enroll in PRGF and HRDC schemes, and maintain ongoing corporate and statutory compliance. Using Africa Deployments Mauritius as EOR removes this requirement entirely: Africa Deployments Ltd (BRN C19167158) is already CBRD-registered and fully compliant, so foreign companies can hire in Mauritius without any CBRD registration or local entity obligation.
Yes. Foreign companies can hire remote employees in Mauritius compliantly through Africa Deployments Mauritius as EOR. Africa Deployments Ltd provides the Workers’ Rights Act 2019-compliant employment structure, MRA PAYE registration, CSG enrollment, PRGF and HRDC activation, and all statutory obligations that make remote employment legally valid in Mauritius, regardless of where the client company is headquartered. Mauritius’s English-speaking, tech-savvy workforce and stable legal environment make it a strong destination for remote talent acquisition in African time zones.
Mauritius employment law under the Workers’ Rights Act 2019 recognises both indefinite-term and fixed-term employment contracts. Indefinite-term contracts are the standard form and provide all statutory protections including PRGF accrual, 13th-month bonus, and full severance rights. Fixed-term contracts are permitted where the role is genuinely temporary or project-based, must specify the contract duration and the nature of the work, and carry the same statutory benefit entitlements pro-rated to the contract period. A succession of fixed-term contracts designed to circumvent indefinite employment protections may be treated by the Industrial Court as constituting a contract of indefinite duration. Africa Deployments Mauritius advises on contract structure and drafts all employment agreements in full compliance with the Workers’ Rights Act 2019.
The Workers’ Rights Act 2019 permits probationary periods for new employees in Mauritius. The standard probationary period is typically one to three months, agreed in the employment contract. During the probationary period, the 30-calendar-day statutory notice requirement may be modified by a shorter mutually agreed notice term. Employees on probation retain rights to statutory benefits including CSG, PRGF, and sick leave accrual from the first day of employment. At the end of the probationary period, the employee either continues under the confirmed employment contract or the contract is lawfully terminated with the agreed probationary notice. Africa Deployments Mauritius structures all probationary arrangements in compliance with the Workers’ Rights Act 2019.
Yes. Mauritius is one of Africa’s most business-friendly jurisdictions for international employers. It has a stable democratic government, an English-and-French-speaking highly educated workforce, a simplified personal income tax system (0%/10%/20% from July 2025), no employer CSG surcharge for employees earning above MUR 200,000 through the PRGF cap, an EDB Occupation Permit system designed to attract global talent, a trusted legal framework under the Workers’ Rights Act 2019 and the Industrial Court, a recognised International Financial Centre (IFC) with double taxation agreements (DTAs) covering 50+ countries, and Mauritius time zone (UTC+4) spanning African and Asian business hours. Africa Deployments Ltd has been registered in Mauritius since August 2019 and is positioned to deploy any Mauritius workforce in 48 hours.
A Mauritius Employer of Record (EOR) becomes the sole legal employer of the workers under the Workers’ Rights Act 2019 and assumes full administrative employer responsibility, with no direct legal employment relationship between the client company and the employee. A Mauritius Professional Employer Organisation (PEO) operates through co-employment: both the PEO and the client company share employer status, and the client retains a direct legal relationship with the employee. The EOR model is typically used for rapid single-hire deployments, short-term project teams, and market-entry scenarios. The PEO model is typically preferred by organisations building long-term Mauritius workforces that plan to eventually incorporate their own CBRD entity. Africa Deployments Mauritius offers both EOR and PEO arrangements through Africa Deployments Ltd (BRN C19167158).
Africa Deployments Mauritius hires employees in Mauritius through Africa Deployments Ltd (BRN C19167158), its own registered legal entity in the Republic of Mauritius since 29 August 2019, not through agents, brokers, or third-party partners. Our in-country team manages every aspect of Mauritius employment: Workers’ Rights Act 2019-compliant contracts in English or French, MRA PAYE via e-services at the correct July 2025 tax rates (0%/10%/20%), CSG at the correct 2026 tiered rates (3%/6% employer), PRGF at 4.5%, HRDC at 1.5%, NSF deductions, mandatory 13th-month bonus, 16-week maternity and 4-week paternity leave (June 2024 updates), Industrial Court-aligned offboarding, and EDB Occupation Permit sponsorship. One registered entity. 48-hour onboarding. Full Mauritius compliance from day one.
