Sabbatical Leave Policy
Author: Brightmine Editorial Team
When to Use
An employer may use this policy if it offers sabbatical leave for employees to take extended time away from work for activities such as education, community service, personal interests, leisure or travel.
This policy helps ensure that employees and managers have a shared understanding of how sabbatical leave works, including who is eligible, how long leave can last, how to request it, what happens with pay and benefits, expectations for communication during leave and the process for returning to work.
