Abstract

In Law Number 13 of 2003, article 81 paragraph (1) concerning Manpower, states that female workers / laborers who are in their menstrual period feel pain and inform employers that they are not obliged to work on the first and second day of menstruation. In reality, the application of granting menstrual leave rights to female workers has not been fully implemented. The formulation of the problem in this study is how the form of implementation of legal protection for menstrual leave for female workers in companies. The method in this research is juridical normative with secondary data collection and the data obtained were analyzed qualitatively. Based on the results of the research, it shows that some companies have not implemented the right of menstruation leave to female workers, but there are also companies that have granted menstrual leave rights to workers. As at PT. Beka Engineering Pangkalan Kerinci, the company only provides hait leave for permanent employees. This is due to the fear of the harm that would be experienced if they provide menstrual leave to all permanent and non-permanent female workers.
