Mauritius End of Year Gratuity Act 2001 Legal Safeguards

1. Universal Coverage

Entitlement applies equally to standard permanent staff, fixed-term workers, part-time employees, and seasonal agricultural/hotel personnel across all corporate sectors in Mauritius.

2. 8-Month Resignation Rule

An employee who voluntarily resigns after serving at least 8 continuous months in the calendar year is legally protected and entitled to receive their pro-rata 13th month bonus upon departure.

3. MRA PAYE Exemption

The statutory Rs 50,000 threshold operates as a direct deduction from bonus earnings, shielding low and mid-income employees from sudden tax bracket spikes during the holiday season.
