A South African lady and her husband have introduced paid menstrual leave for their female employees and social media users are loving it.
Women generally experience varying degrees of discomfort and pain while on their menstrual cycle. Some ladies experience nausea, cramps, fever and get mood swings.
Apparently, the lady and her husband put this into consideration and decided to allow their staff go on paid leave when they are on their menstrual cycle.
The businesswoman, identified as Gloria Dhlamini-Liebenberg, shared the latest development in her company on her Twitter page.
She tweeted,
“My husband and I, have introduced paid menstrual leave for our female employees. This makes me so happy as a woman.”
