That might make for interesting rumors in the office... Susie worker took off for her period every month... then one month... she doesn't take a day off... Hmmm is Susie pregnant? She's not married... oh the scandal... Everyone can wonder right along with Susie why her period is late...
Now, I can see the plus side to this, that if a person is in pain, or not feeling well, they are not going to be productive. So, isn't a more liberal sick leave policy more beneficial to all employees, it's just trying to figure out how to eliminate abuse of it that would be the problem
