Are the domestic workers legally employed?
Yes, we ensure all employment arrangements comply with Mauritian labor laws. This includes proper contracts, insurance, and statutory contributions. We guide you through the legal requirements as an employer.
What if the domestic worker doesn't work out?
We offer ongoing support and will help find a replacement if needed. Most placements include a trial period where either party can end the arrangement. We mediate any issues and can suggest alternative candidates from our network.
Do domestic workers speak English?
Many domestic workers in Mauritius speak basic English, especially those experienced with international families. We can prioritize English-speaking candidates or those who speak French or Creole depending on your preference.
Can I hire staff before arriving in Mauritius?
Yes, we can arrange video interviews and complete the hiring process before your arrival. This ensures your home is ready and staff are in place when you move in. However, most clients prefer to meet candidates in person.
What about live-in versus live-out arrangements?
Both options are available. Live-in staff typically work longer hours and are provided with accommodation and meals. Live-out staff work set hours and return to their own homes. We discuss the pros and cons of each during consultation.
