Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138) - Mauritius (Ratification: 1990)

Article 9, paragraph 3, of the Convention. Registers of employment. The Committee had previously noted that, by virtue of sections 48 and 49 of the Labour Act, an employer who has 15 or more workers should keep a register of workers. Noting that the 2006 amendments to the Labour Act did not consider sections 48 and 49 of the Labour Act, the Committee had urged the Government to take without delay, the necessary measures to ensure conformity with Article 9(3) of the Convention. The Committee notes with interest the Government’s information that according to section 13 of the new Employment Rights Act of 2008, an employer shall keep a record containing the name, address, date of birth and such other details of every young person employed by him.
