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.
