3.1.39 Office Pet Policy
Piedmont University is responsible for assuring the health and safety of all employees. In keeping with this objective, Piedmont University does not permit employees to bring their household pets and/or emotional support animals to work. Animals may pose a threat of infection and may cause allergic reactions in other employees. Some employees may feel threatened or be distracted by the presence of animals, particularly dogs. In addition, Piedmont University wishes to prevent pets from fouling the office space or damaging Piedmont University property.
An employee who requires the help of a service animal (defined by 28 CFR 36.104 as "any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability") will be permitted to bring a service animal to the office, provided that the animal’s presence does not create a danger to others and does not impose an undue hardship upon the University.
