Introduction: Every year, in March, Statistics Mauritius carries out a Survey of Employment and Earnings in ‘large’ establishments so as to obtain a continuous 
series of comparable data on the level of employment in these ‘large’ establishments.
For the purpose of the survey, employees are classified into one of the following four specific categories, according to type of pay:
	(i)monthly (ii)	daily (iii)piece rate (iv)hourly rate

			(iv)	other agricultural establishments employing at least 10 persons during the reference period (March 2018).
		(b)	Non-agricultural establishments employing at least 10 persons during the reference month. It is to be noted that ‘outworkers’ are excluded.
			Outworkers are piece-rate workers who, although remunerated by an establishment, work in their own homes on materials 
			provided by the establishment.

		(c)	All central and local government departments.

Data collection: The questionnaires were sent to some 5,000 establishments with the request that they be completed and returned by mid April of each year.
