Italy Implements a New Labor Leave that Allows Workers to Care for #SickPets
#Italy has taken a historic step in #LaborRights and #AnimalWelfare by approving a special leave that allows workers to take time off to care for their sick pets. With this measure, the country became the first in the world to legally recognize that caring for a domestic animal can justify an authorized absence and, in some cases, a paid one.
