The workers of the Girona City Council will be able to take advantage of the menstrual leave due to indisposition due to the period, after this pioneering initiative in Spain was approved in plenary session of the city council, which, yes, entails the recovery of the hours.
The workers of the consistory will have at their disposal eight hours a month that they can take in minimum fractions of an hour and that must be recovered within a maximum period of three months.
The initiative has been supported by the government team, made up of JxCat and ERC, and has also had the votes of de Guanyem, PSC and one of the two Cs councillors, while the other has abstained.
The deputy mayor and head of the Treasury and Interior Regime, Maria Àngels Planas, has described the agreement as “important for all the workers of the council”. “The administrations have the duty to be leaders in everything that we are capable of and we have to do it in a fair way,” she added.
Planas has highlighted that, in this case, “a path not started until now” is being opened and he has been pleased that Girona is a pioneer “in the approval of this menstrual leave”. Thus, she has indicated that “we are eliminating the taboo around menstruation and the pain that some women suffer-we suffer during their period”, she has affirmed about the approval of the plenary session.
From now on, Girona city council workers will be able to request this leave for indisposition due to the period with the aim of reconciling the right to health and well-being with employment.
The permit, initially approved on April 30 by the Negotiation Table at the proposal of the Intersindical-CSC union, is included in the article that regulates the flexible hours of the work agreement for civil servants and labor personnel of the Girona City Council, whose plenary session approved it this Monday.
