Sick leave calculator Mauritius
Sick leave lets you stay home when you are ill and still get your full pay.
Enter your service and the days you have used to see what is left, including days carried over from past years.
How it's calculated
- After 12 months of continuous employment you get 15 days of sick leave on full pay in each following 12-month period.
- Days you do not use are accumulated.
- A part-time worker gets the days a week they work, divided by the days a comparable full-time worker works, times 15 days.
- In the first year, after 6 months with no absence, a full-time worker earns one day a month up to the twelfth month.
An example
After 3 years, with 4 days used this year and 20 carried over, a worker has 31 sick days available.
