A growing number of employers now offer paid leave for pet loss. Here's how to make the best use of those days to support your healing. Plus, tips on bringing bereavement leave to your workplace.
If your workplace already has an allotted amount of time they provide you annually for family related leave. You could just ask them to add in that one of the qualifying categories be for pet bereavement. This way they don't have to change any policies they just have to update the list of qualified categories for that set allotted time.
This is such a practical approach! It gives employers a way to acknowledge pet bereavement without having to overhaul existing policies. Sometimes, a small adjustment to what already exists can make a meaningful difference to employees going through a genuine loss. ❤️
