Workers know all about maternity, paternity, bereavement, and sick leave, but a “paw-ternity” leave? That’s one program that a company in Scotland recently launched, and it allows new dog owners a week off to care for their new pet.

According to Good Housekeeping, Scotland’s largest craft brewer, BrewDog, is giving employees a week’s paid holiday to look after their new dog. The new leave program allows staff to make sure that their pet gets comfortable in its new home. After the time off, BrewDog allows its staff to bring their pets to work with them.

According to the company’s website, the reason why they’re giving their employees this perk is because they care about their people.

“We know only too well that having a new arrival—whether a mewling pup or an unsettled rescue dog—can be stressful for human and hound both,” said BrewDog. “So we are becoming the first in our industry to give our staff a working week’s leave on us to help settle a new furry family member into their home.”

The company also detailed how one very special dog inspired their dog-friendly company culture. It was recalled how the “original Brew Dog,” Bracken, first watched the company’s founders, Martin Dickie and James Watt, make its very first batch of beer back in 2007, and since then, dogs have been central to the company workers’ way of life.

The new pooch-based perk will be available to all BrewDog crewmembers across the globe, including those joining the company’s US brewery in Columbus, Ohio which will open its doors this week.

Those who have dogs and are looking to get a job with BrewDog are in luck, as the company has a few open job positions in Columbus. The brewery is currently looking for a brewer, a packaging manager, a kitchen team member, city sales specialists, and a key account manager who will all be based in their new location.
