Peternity leave
Rushda:
January 28th, 2007
Apparently, some companies have now introduced new policies for their employees which say that they can take days off (under paid leave) to look after their sick pet. There is also the possibility of introducing “compassionate leave” if a pet dies. All this comes after the recognition that pets often play a huge part in the owner’s life. I think it is sweet that employers are being more caring but surely the scheme can be ridiculously taken advantage of? Hmmm, I think my goldfish looks a little under the weather today…
