The “Notice of termination of agreement” is 1 month. You may find the EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS ACT 2008 on this link.

Here’s the advantages and disadvantages for both parties.
The employer:
1. Has 4 or 5 people in the department to easily cover your absence. The sooner he can get rid of you without paying, the better it is.

2. In case an employee is playing a really crucial role in the core business process. The company could just lose the employee withing 1 months without enough time for doing a handing over. This can be very damaging financially.

The employee:
1. Employers can easily fill the void created by you. But who can fill the void of a bread winning father with loans, wife/kids to feed? There is only 1 father in a generic Mauritian family.

2. She can leave her current job for a higher paying one without waiting too much.

3. Are there so many jobs on the Mauritian job market so as employees can be choosy about their jobs? I think job security is primordial.

4. The process of finding a new job can be very long. Can be greater than 4-6 months for some:
– The person has to apply for jobs.
– It can take weeks/months before responses come.
– Interviews are scheduled. Takes weeks. Sometimes more than 1 interviews are required.
– Takes more weeks before the company finally sends a proposal (if you are lucky).
– You get employed on temporary basis on a mediocre salary.
– If lucky again, you get full employment.

However, the new job can be terminated with a 1 month notice too.

Subject to any provision of an agreement, the length of the notice to be
given under subsection (1) shall be of 30 days.

I think i know what laws are passed and in whose favour
It is companies that fund elections. If ministers don’t abide to the demands of sponsoring companies, politicians simply won’t get money.

Is 1 month notice of termination enough according to you?
