Welcome to Ministry of Labor, Republic of Korea, Labor Standards Act: "Article 71 (Menstruation Leave)
An employer shall allow a female worker one day's menstruation leave with pay per month. "

Hmmm . . . What a progressive country I work in. Hard to imagine anyone would ever use such a benefit; a woman would have to announce why she was taking the day off and surely it would be hard to keep her coworkers from knowing why she was absent.
