Employment
Employment rights are fundamental rights afforded both to the Employer and Employee. The Employment Rights Act was devised to revise and consolidate the laws relating to employment, contracts of employment and contracts of services.
The Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations & Employment is the authority which regulates labour laws in Mauritius. The Ministry operates several departments, each one specializing in a particular aspect of employment: operational health & safety, labour law, employment of foreign nationals, licensing of recruitment agencies, etc.
The Employment laws in Mauritius include protection against discrimination and unlawful termination of employment among a number of fundamental rights. These laws are necessary to delineate and safeguard the rights of the Employer and Employee.
We regularly advise clients on a wide range of employment law issues including the drafting and reviewing of employment contracts and pension schemes.
We at Lallah Chambers regularly act for either the Employer or Employee before Disciplinary Committees, the Employment Relations Tribunal and the Industrial Court in employment law related matters.
