There is great news for pets and their human caregivers: “Pawternity Leave”, giving employees time off to care for new pets, is starting to be recognized by more companies. Some employers offer their workers anywhere from a day to a week of paid leave to welcome a new animal into their family. Some companies also give employees paid bereavement time for the loss of a beloved pet.
Consider asking about the “Pawternity Leave” benefit during your next interview.
