- Coverage 1992Republic of Mauritius: the 'General Government' group includes Rodrigues (Tables 3.2 and 3.3, note 2) and the Rodrigues Regional Assembly (Tables 3.4 to 3.12). Table 3.1 (1993-2000) states no scope; it is drawn from the same Survey of Employment and Earnings in large establishments, which includes Rodrigues from 1991, and is loaded at the same scope, which for those years is an inference. Large establishments only: those employing 10 or more persons.
- Coverage 1992Reference months. Tables 3.1 and 3.2 are yearly indices from a survey conducted for the month of September (1993-2006). From 2007 the survey is quarterly: the first to fourth quarters of 2007 and 2008 were conducted in February, May, August and November, and from 2009 the quarterly indices are based on wage rates applicable in March, June, September and December. A quarter's index is therefore one month's wage rates, and a 'Year' before 2007 is September's.
- Discrepancy 2010Table 3.8 prints 42.3 for the first quarter of 2010 and 45.7 for the first quarter of 2011: the values of the first quarters of 2007 and 2008. The published 2010 and 2011 averages (58.6 and 60.5) are not the means of the printed quarters (54.9 and 56.9). Kept as printed.
