There are a lot of workplaces that are pet-friendly. This means the company and its bosses are okay with your pet dog tagging to work occasionally or giving you time off if your pup needs you. However, some companies take their love for dogs (and cats!) To a whole different level.
Zebra is an insurance comparison online company that adds more money to an employee’s salary when they adopt a new pet. This bonus is a benefit to help new paw-parent staff cover the adoption fees on top of the additional costs of getting ready to welcome a new doggie or kitty to their family. This extra $300 to one’s yearly wages enables the rescue pup and its forever family to bond without worry.
On top of the generous bonus for the new pet owners, Zebra also offers another benefit for the adopting employees. Like new parents, new pet owners must set some time to allow their rescue doggie to adjust to their new environment. Because of this, people from this insurance company can file for a “paternity” leave. Zebra offers paid-off days to ensure that their employees, their families, and the rescue dogs or cats they bring home will start this new chapter in their lives in the best way possible.
There have already been quite a few employees who have taken advantage of this fabulous incentive to get the pet that they have always wanted. Maribeliz Ortiz, who works at Zebra’s quality assurance department, was encouraged to finally get the dog she’s dreamt of since she was a kid – an adorable mini long-hair Dachshund. Even the management has taken advantage of the company’s new benefit, as shown by the senior manager, Dan Kujanek, who adopted a German Shepherd mix rescue dog to spend his time off playing in his spacious backyard.
