End-to-End Payroll Compliance for Mauritian Employers

Payroll in Mauritius sits at the intersection of tax law (MRA), labour law (Workers’ Rights Act), and social contributions (CSG). A compliant payroll is not just accurate withholding — it is a chain of documents that starts with the employment contract and ends with the end-of-service certificate.

Onboarding

A compliant offer letter and written contract, EDF form on file, employee registered with MRA and NPF/CSG systems, and enrolment in any group insurance.

Monthly cycle

Payslips must show statutory line items. PAYE and CSG are filed and paid by the 20th. Overtime, bonuses and leave adjustments feed back into the next month’s cumulative computation.

Year-end

Statement of Emoluments to each employee, Return of Employees to MRA, and reconciliation between payroll and General Ledger.
