13th Month year end Bonus ???

Yes, by law (End of year gratuity act 2001) every employer must pay one twelth of the salary as at December x no. of months that the employee has been in service for that year. This is implied and needs not be mentioned in the contract.

Moreover a contract is null and void if it contains abusive clauses, i.e clauses with are against the interest of the employee and against the minimum guaranteed by law.

Also, it must by law be paid before the 20th of december I think.

thanks you all for the ideas,but is it applicable for expatriates or foreigner working in contracts as professional here in mauritius?
Coz until now my friend did not receive her 13 month only the Mauritians received there 13 months.

cheers!
