Hiring in Mauritius: costs, rules and the best EOR providers

A recruitment agency licence covers recruitment, not the individual’s permission to work. A foreign national needs the appropriate work authorisation or an applicable exemption. Mauritius regulates private recruitment agencies through its licensing framework. Recruitment licensing and the right to employ a particular worker are separate checks, especially for a non-citizen. Establish which entity recruits, employs and applies for any required work permission.

A covered full-time worker completing twelve months’ continuous employment has twenty working days of annual leave in each subsequent twelve-month period, plus the Act’s two additional days.
