2016, National Wage Consultative Council Act No. 6 establishes the National Wage Consultative Council which is responsible for making recommendations to the Minister of Labour regarding the minimum wage.
The wage determination system in Mauritius is carried out by the Pay Research Bureau (PRB), National Remuneration Board (NRB), and the National Wage Consultative Council (NWCC). Salaries in the public sector are determined by the PRB, while the NRB sets minimum wage rates and working conditions for private-sector employees in 31 sectors of economic activity through Remuneration Regulations (RR). Both the PRB report and RRs are periodically reviewed to adjust the salary scales of employees. Wages are adjusted annually by tripartite negotiations with the view of compensating workers for the loss in purchasing power due to rising prices.
