A growing number of employers—especially in the digital sector—are introducing special benefits such as “fur-ternity leave” for employees with pets. But before joining the trend, companies might want to check first with their in-house lawyers.

Nina Hale Inc., a Minneapolis digital marketing firm with 85 employees, announced on Aug. 20 that it was expanding its benefits program to offer a week of work-from-home days to allow new pet parents to spend time with their new companions and help the pets adjust to their surroundings.

“Part of embracing employee satisfaction as a business priority means recognizing important life events that happen outside of the office,” said Nina Hale CEO Donna Robinson. “If we want to continue to set the example as a top workplace, it is crucial to offer innovative benefits that help to preserve the work-life happiness of our employee owners.”
