Geographic location: Located in the western region of Africa, Mauritania boasts a generally flat land that extends over 1,030,700 square kilometers. Mauritania borders the North Atlantic Ocean, between Senegal and Western Sahara, Mali, and Algeria.
Population: A little more than half of the country’s population live in urban areas – mostly in the capital city of Nouakchott and Noaudhibou. Mauritania is considered one of the least densely populated countries in the world due to its density of four inhabitants per square kilometer.
Economy: Mauritania is a low-income country. However, it is rich in natural resources, where agriculture, livestock, and fishing are the primary sources of income.

In Mauritania, the termination notice must be made in writing and state the grounds for dismissal. It should then be handed in person to the concerned employee.
The duration of the notice period varies depending on the worker’s seniority.
Valid grounds for termination may include gross misconduct and force majeure.
Employees are only eligible for severance pay if they are not guilty of gross misconduct or any other allegation that severely breaches their contract.
Once they are entitled to compensation, severance pay is calculated in proportion to their seniority.
