[Mauritius] Additional remuneration and wage adjustments for 2026 introduced

In Mauritius, the Workers’ Rights (Additional Remuneration) (2026) Regulations have been introduced. They establish a statutory framework for additional remuneration for private sector employees from January 1, 2026, DLA Piper reports.

The regulations will see full-time employees earning a monthly basic salary of up to MUR50,000 be entitled to an additional payment of MUR635 per month. For part-time workers earning below MUR17,110 per month, additional remuneration is set at 3.7 per cent of their monthly basic salary, rounded up to the nearest rupee.

The new measures will reportedly operate alongside amendments introduced under the Wage Adjustment (Amendment) Regulations 2026, which establish revised minimum salary thresholds for certain categories of employees. 

These include the minimum basic monthly salary for diploma holders, now set at MUR24,245 and a threshold of MUR26,245 for degree holders.

These changes are part of Mauritius’ annual remuneration adjustment framework. It is intended to support income levels, address cost of living pressures, and ensure consistent minimum standards across the workforce.
