Larsen and Toubro announced a one-day paid menstrual leave, a day ahead of International Women’s Day. Around 5,000 women employees of the engineering, procurement and construction major will benefit from the move.<\/p>\n

The announcement is only applicable to the employees of the parent L&T and not for its subsidiaries engaged in financial services or technology, sources told news agency PTI. L&T has 60,000 employees, of which 9 per cent or about 5,000 are women, who will benefit from the move, which gets implemented immediately.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes weeks after the company’s chairman and managing director S N Subrahmanyan faced criticism for comments asking employees to put in 90-hours a week and not keep staring at their wives.<\/p>\n

Companies like Swiggy and Zomato have made menstrual leaves in the past, but major business houses are to announce such initiatives.<\/p>\n

Four states – Bihar, Odisha, Sikkim and Kerala – have made provisions for menstrual leaves for their employees. The Supreme Court had last year suggested the government formulate a policy on the issue.<\/p>\n
