In the crowd of countless online shopping websites, Sasto Deal has come up with a great incentive for their female employees. They’re offering menstrual leaves for women on periods.

‘Sasto Deal’ is first of its kind, located in Nepal, having a menstrual leave policy. The company has 10 female and 19 male employees. To reach the people at a big level, the company started its campaign for this noble cause from Facebook emphasizing the need of this policy in all the organizations.

The team of Sasto Deal is very proud of what they have started and trying to reach the mass at every level. They understand that pain due to menstruation is more painful than a headache. Today, many of us take leave from work due to a little headache or fever but we expect the female employees to work efficiently during her periods because we don’t know how painful it is! And even women entrepreneurs who own the company don’t have any empathy for women employees.

Prior to the conclusion, all the staffs of the company were asked to give their suggestions during a discussion and then after Sasto Deal came to a conclusion that priority should be given to the health of women staff. And so, the company introduced menstrual leave policy where any women employee can work from their home or they can take leave from the work during her periods without being asked a single question and without any penalty in the salary.

okay!

This is the first of its kind. But what measures are in place to prevent the abuse of this policy?

For instance, a lady decides not to come to work and gives the reason as her monthly flow when in reality it is not.

Leave matter. If I were to work in such a company, that's automatic 4 days leave every month whether or not I need it
