Salary Structures & other Perks in Mauritius

keviebaby

Hi

Could somebody please assist me.

My friend Wayne (47) is working for award-winning agency  in Cape Town. He approached a new ad agency in Mauritius for a job with the intent to settling here.

    Title:   Business Unit Director/Art Director (Mid Level)
             Salary: R 46 000 00 (South African Rands) monthly
                   Rs 184 000 00 (approximately Mauritian Rupees)

The ad agency requested a terms/benefits/salary proposal.
His situation:
      1. family of four.
      2. two young daughters
      3. needs Medical Aid Plan and a Pension Plan

Could you please advise how to and, on what grounds to  structure his proposal. And what would be a fair and acceptable salary that befits his position within the Mauritius ad agency setup.

Thanking you kindly.

Hey Kevin

I'm no expert, but some of his benefits should be:

1) Financial support for his children's (Underage) education. Some companies provide full coverage for expatriates who are pretty high up in the chain of command. Mid Level looks high enough for me.

2) Company car due to his position

3) Insurance coverage (Risk of lawful pursuit), Full medical/pension coverage for himself & his family.

4) His year end bonus package.

5) one month vacation per year.

5) Loan facilities for his home


As you know, the bargaining power depends a lot on what you can offer, i.e. experiences & proof of value-added project. I think  in the ad world, they call it an advertising portfolio.

Depending on the size of firm recruiting him, he can easily go up to 200k  plus all the benefits I mentioned if he's good at what he does.

They can even throw in free haircuts if he's worth the investment.lol

In Mauritius, it's not so much about salary than benefits.

That should get you started!
