Abstract

The development of a nation can not be separated from the strengthening of macro- and micro economics. Strengthening the economy is determined also by the variable productivity, satisfaction, motivation and well-being of its' workforce. In order to achieve this goal, Section 81 Law 13 as in force at 2003 was issued by the Government. This paper will utilise this Act as a basis to address the physiological processes of menstruation and the effect on a company's productivity of the health of female employees. The mechanism of granting leave for female employees who are menstruating will also be considered. Bearing in mind that many female employees are unaware of the existence of this act and also have a weaker bargaining position, not all companies when formulating regulations recognise the effects of menstruation, including lack of socialisation, resulting in neglect of inherent rights including menstruation leave. In cases of dispute over menstruation leave, parties representing employers, workers/employees and government organisations should participate in a tripartite cooperation process in order to facilitate communication, consultation and deliberation. Keywords: productivity, employees, menstruation leave, tripartite.
