For women with serious menstrual problems.

I read it was five days a month. Amazing. Women need every bit of good news we can get at the moment

I’d say I’m moving to Spain but bloody Brexit prevents me. I end up taking two days sick leave monthly anyway, be nice to have it mandated and signed off properly.

Does Spain not have normal sick leave policies? If you're too ill to work then you can't work, regardless of the reason.

I imagine it's not counted as sick leave.
Haven't read the article - will do - but how do they stop people taking the piss for 3 paid days off each month.

Not sure if I want my whole office to know about my cycle. Even if I don't say anything to people apart from my manager and HR people docan add things up and will come up with the right answer.

And I say this as someone who was glad being at home on Tuesday when I felt ill with period problems.

Make work hyprid working if possible and noone needs to know.

Menstruation isn't sickness. I think it's appropriate and compassionate to have a separate policy.

3 days every month? I assume this has to be certified by a doctor?

Sounds amazing but in real life in Britain I can just imagine the threads now

Manager made me redundant using
Menstrual leave

Co worker taking the piss using menstrual leave at any opportunity

Can I go on holiday while in menstrual leave

I won't employ women due to ML laws

And many many more.

5 days a year seems more realistic.

'Make work hyprid working if possible and noone needs to know'

Absolutely - managing periods is so much easier at home. Not an option for everyone of course

This Will just ramp up the reluctance of some companies to employ women.
Men don't have periods or get pregnant
Well they didn't until the Gender ideology malarkey!!

I can’t work with a menstrual migraine whether that’s at home or the office.

So companies will just stop employing young(ish) women.... seems like a policy that hasn't been thought through!
