What Is The Menstrual Leave Policy? Which Companies Offer Menstrual Leave In India?

There's little question that women have come a long way in India over the last few decades. The country has an impressive record of female workforce participation and representation in leadership positions, with several companies offering menstrual leave as part of their HR policies. But while workplace policies are evolving globally, they remain restrictive in some parts of India. Have you ever wondered how long I need to take off work during my period? What should I do if I get sick during my period? Or when can I take time off from work because of these things? Here's all you need to know about taking leave during menstruation! In India, the menstrual leave policy is not common. In fact, women in India are still not comfortable talking about their periods. The stigma and shame surrounding menstruation make it challenging to ask for leave or compensation after they're back at work. The menstrual leave policy is a policy that allows women to take time off from work during menstruation. This is an important issue for many women, as they feel discomfort during their periods and wish to be away from work. But there are many cultural stigmas and other taboos which have thwarted the introduction of such policies in India (and elsewhere). Some companies feel that offering menstrual leave will create competition between them and their competitors; others simply don't want their staff members discussing private matters at work. So-called "period leave" has existed in some parts of China and Japan for years. Italian legislators are reportedly considering offering it there as well. Though most companies in India don't offer menstrual leave to women, some have taken a step forward to update their policies for working women. The Menstruation Benefits Bill 2017′ states that all women are privileged to get monthly Menstrual Leave in India of two days. The bill is made for women working in public and private organizations. These firms are registered with either the Central government or the state governments. Zomato was one of the first Indian companies to introduce menstrual leave. The company started offering 12 days off every month for women who are experiencing their periods or are pregnant and nursing mothers. Other companies, such as Watsup Brothers, have also introduced similar policies for working women. Byju's, Culture Magazine, iVIPANAN, Swiggy, Mathrubhumi, Magzter, IndustryARC, FlyMyBiz and Gozoop allow menstrual leave. Hopefully, those companies that have already introduced menstrual leave policies will soon be joined by more. It's time for the Indian government to catch up and ensure women aren't left out of their jobs due to their periods.
