The Sikkim High Court has implemented a first-of-its-kind menstrual leave policy, allowing women employees in its registry to take 2-3 days of menstrual leave each month.
The menstrual leave will be granted based on the prior recommendation of the Medical Officer of the High Court and will not be deducted from the employee’s overall leave account.
The Sikkim High Court, which is the smallest in the country, has three judges and nine officers in the registry, including one woman officer.
