Employment
Employment Act with the Employment Tribunal and competency-based GOP linkage
The Employment Act (Cap 69) governs contracts, termination and grievance procedures, requiring registration of contracts of employment. Termination requires a valid ground and a documented process, and disputes go to the Employment Tribunal rather than the ordinary courts at first instance.
Key rules
- Jurisdiction — The Ministry of Employment conciliates; the Employment Tribunal determines; appeals lie to the Supreme Court.
- Deadline — Grievance: registered with the competent officer, then referred to the Employment Tribunal
- Deadline — Contracts of employment registered with the Ministry of Employment
Governing law
- Employment ActCap 69
- Conditions of Employment Regulations 1991
- Seychelles Pension Fund Act 2005
In practice
Contract registration with the Ministry is a distinctive administrative requirement, and because most non-citizen employment is tied to a Gainful Occupation Permit, termination and permit status are practically linked in a way that is unusual elsewhere.
