When you say "domestic workers" are you referring to someone you employ in your home or do you mean a Mauritian employee at your company?

Minimum wage, as does the annual and sick leave from I have heard, depends on the sector and job description.

Take a look at the below link to a pdf from the government's website to see a breakdown for minimum wages for various sectors:

Or if you do not want the entire pdf on wages, you can go to the web link below and find the specific sector you are curious about. It also will provide more specific requirements by the employer with regards to what they must provide their employees including annual and sick leave:
