Fathers get five continuous working days of leave in Mauritius. They are required to provide a medical certificate indicating their spouse has given birth as well as a written statement he has signed to show he is living with the spouse under the same room for the leave to be granted.

The paternity leave may start a week after the child’s birth and be on a full pay as long as the worker has been with the company for at least 12 months before the birth.
