@thisismoney: SPAIN BECAME THE FIRST COUNTRY IN EUROPE TO INTRODUCE STATUTORY PAID MENSTRUAL LEAVE. 🇪🇸 In 2023, Spain passed a landmark law allowing workers who experience severe period pain to take medically approved paid sick leave. The policy can cover debilitating menstrual pain associated with conditions such as endometriosis, with payments covered by the social security system rather than directly by employers. The law came into force on June 1, 2023, and was introduced to recognise the impact severe menstrual pain can have on daily life and work. Portugal has since introduced a similar provision for workers with endometriosis or adenomyosis who experience incapacitating menstrual pain. #ThisIsMoney #Money #News #UK

this seems nice, and I agree that womens period pain is bad, but this may and likely will have some negative consequences

Deano :

This is just sexist.

🧿 Beyond Borders Diary ✨ :

We still need to visit a government hospital, wait for an appointment, see a doctor, and obtain a medical certificate afterward. We do not get automatic medical leave simply by telling our manager that our period started this morning.

BlackCat :

Serious question. What if the women in your office all sync up?? 😳

truth hurts :

This sounds more than it is. Without ghe law you could be signed off by a Doctor and the company would still pay your full pay. The law now pays something less than that?

Kyle Stanley :

So one week off a month

FlashFrame Theory :

Only when you get doctor's approval and a medical diagnosis. General cramps that 99% of women are complaining about is not enough
