More Companies Are Adopting Paid Menstrual Leave Policies

More companies have recently come out on the side of workplace gender equality, with many announcing a policy allowing women and transgender people paid sick leave for period symptoms.

“Going forward, women at Zomato can avail up to 10 period leaves in a year. This also applies to transgender people working at Zomato,” the company said via Twitter.

The move to allow up to two workweeks of period leave per year was made in the spirit of “truth and acceptance,” the Indian food and dining platform stated on its website blog. Most women in the US will experience some 450 periods in their lifetime.

That’s between 1,350 and 2,250 or so days of uncomfortable and often painful symptoms, such as abdominal cramps which range from mild to debilitating; lower back pain; diarrhea and constipation; sore breasts; headache; skin breakouts; bloating; fatigue; mood swings; and poor sleep — sometimes all at once!
