    John, for some reason that one cracked me up. I must have been in the mood for some HR humor.

    Hiya. We had some fun in the UK HR press recently - a organizations have started to give employees time off to look after sick pets. Made me laugh. When I got up off the floor I realised it was yest another reason (excuse) for the odd day off....where's that dog of mine?

    Scott, LOL. Wow...I guess that's one form a flex day...although I must say that our Labrador Retriever, Snickers the Wonder Dog, is a family member. In fact, she gets more of the bed than I do! So, sick days to tend for an ill pet...I might need to sign on for that. ;-)

    Scott,

    In parts of Colorado they have passed laws that give pets as much rights and protection as children. I wonder if we can get more sick days from this :)

    What about days off for haircuts - for your dog of course!
  • Frank Roche · 2 years ago
    Alex, LOL. It's all about the sick days. ;-)

    Scott, I understand that the new haircut policy is that haircuts should be done at lunch on your own personal time...unless you own an Old English Sheepdog, then you can have half a day.
