Menstrual Leave

Menstrual leave is a policy allowing employees to take paid time off during their menstrual period if they experience severe symptoms like pain or discomfort. It aims to provide relief and support for women, recognizing the physical challenges some face during this time. The use of menstrual leave varies by country and company; in some places, it’s a standard benefit, while in others, it’s optional. The goal is to promote well-being, reduce stigma, and improve productivity by allowing individuals to rest or manage symptoms without penalties.
