Scottish brewery BrewDog has instituted a new policy offering “puppy parental leave” for employees raising young dogs.
The company announced the “paw-ternity” policy that provides all employees with one week off when they bring home a new puppy.
“BrewDog was started by two men and one dog in 2007,” the brewery said in its announcement video.
The brewery’s headquarters in Aberdeenshire has 50 “office dogs” and the company said paw-ternity leave will be instituted at its Columbus, Ohio location when it opens in the spring.
“It’s not easy trying to juggle work and settle a new dog into your life, and many members of our crew have four-legged friends at home,” company co-founder James Watt told WFAA. “We wanted to take the stress out of the situation and let our teams take the time they need to welcome their new puppy or dog into their family.”
Watt founded the company alongside Martin Dickie and both men are regularly accompanied by their own dogs Simcoe and Dr. Gonzo.
