The various covers which fall under the category of Employee Benefits are not compulsory in Mauritius. However, if you are an employer wishing to last on the employment market such benefits will definitely attract high calibre employees.
Group Personal Accident covers employees on a 24/7 basis, worldwide and so they will be covered even after working hours.
Employees under a Group Medical Scheme will normally choose private treatment when they are ill, and recovery will normally be sooner, and resumption of duties will be quicker.
Group Pension is another category of employee benefit. Pension contribution by an employer is considered as a deferred pay. A caring employer should always arrange for a pension arrangement as soon as this is affordable. A group pension plan also enables an employer to make provisions for its financial obligation by law towards a departing or a retiring employee.
