Staff, notice, leave, tenancy, a supplier who will not pay. juris answers in plain English, French or Kreol, from Mauritian legislation and case law, and shows you the passage behind every answer. The free surface gives each connection four questions a day. If that is not enough, contact us and we will set up more for you.
Question
Can I dismiss an employee without notice?
Only where the termination is justified, for example for misconduct. Dismissal without notice and without justification breaches the Workers' Rights Act 2019, and the worker may be owed wages in lieu of notice and severance allowance.
An illustration of the answer format, abridged from a real juris answer. Both judgments are real and held in the corpus.

Illustrations of the answer format, shortened. Every law and judgment cited is real and held in juris.
juris gives legal information, not legal advice, and it never tells you whether you will win or lose. Under the Law Practitioners Act, advice on your matter comes from a lawyer. juris answers only from the sources it retrieves, cites them, and says so when they do not carry an answer, rather than guessing.
Some areas are thin today, including tax filings with the MRA and company registry deadlines. When juris does not hold the law, it tells you.
To write an answer, your question is sent to AI providers outside Mauritius. It is kept, for up to 400 days, only if you agree to help improve juris, and you choose that on your first visit. Nothing about who asked is stored with it.
