Workplace notices
Federal, Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia law require us to share these notices with everyone who works for Pups On Passyunk. We don’t have a shared workplace where they can be posted, so they’re kept here. Please read through them when you start, and check back periodically or when we let you know something has changed.
