BAIK Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this study is to highlight and critically assess the salient features of the Worker’s Rights Act 2019 of Mauritius. Design/methodology/approach – The various essential sections of the Act is assessed to underline the way they provide for an upgrade and progress in comparison with former labour legislation of Mauritius. The standards set by the International Labour Organisation are used as parameters to assess the salient features of the Act. Findings – The new law puts the worker, as an individual human being, at the centre of the law and employment-related legal provisions have been designed accordingly. This law is an essential and muchneeded shift from employer’s centred labour legislation to labour legislation that emphasises on rights of workers. Practical implications – This study enables foreign and local employers and workers operating in Mauritius to understand and be acquainted with the new provisions on employment laws in force in the country. Originality/value – This study is currently amongst the few available legal literatures on worker’s rights in Mauritius which adds to its originality. In addition, it is proposed as a building block on which further research on employment laws can be invited.
