Workers' Rights Act 2019: Sunday & Public Holiday Protections

1. Double Rate Standard

Sunday labor and public holiday shifts in Mauritius must be remunerated at twice (2.0x) the ordinary basic hourly wage, acknowledging the social disruption of weekend work.

2. 195-Hour Monthly Standard

The statutory divisor of 195 hours derives from the 45-hour normal workweek standard defined in Section 20, providing absolute consistency across all pay cycles.

3. Mandatory Night Transport

Where an employee's overtime shift ceases during night hours (21:00 to 06:00), the employer must ensure free door-to-door transport or cover all taxi fares.
