Ningxia Hui Autonomous¹ Region in northwest China will allow female workers to require paid menstrual leave, reported nxnews.net on Tuesday.

 

宁夏新闻网周二报道，宁夏回族自治区将允许女性员工享受带薪生理假。

 

The region enhances the protection of female workers during menstruation, pregnancy², giving birth, lactation and menopause.

 

The regulation in Ningxia follows the example of other provinces like Anhui, Hubei and Hainan province.

 

It said female workers may take paid menstrual leave for one or two days if they can't carry on their work under heavy menstruation or menstrual pain.

 

Female workers can also apply for transfer or request for lighter³ work with a certificate of menopausal syndrome⁴ from a legal medical institute or hospital.

 

The regulation takes the benefit of female workers as a key index of a company's credit.
