Well for the uninitiated a sabbatical is nothing more than taking an extended holiday from work without your employer actually showing it as a break in service. A sabbatical typically lasts for a period of 2 months ore maybe more. These breaks may or may not be paid breaks but it all depends on the employer and the policies of the firm or company.
Taking a sabbatical is a great way to make time for yourself and your family by taking an extended break away from work. Now a sabbatical may even affect any promotion that you may have been in line for, so before deciding on opting for a break, talk it over with your boss.
Many employers offer sabbaticals as a reward to employees who have completed a certain number of years with the firm. One company the Guardian Media Group is known to allow employees an entire month off with pay every fourth year of service. Another company the John Lewis Partnership offers employees who complete 25 years of service 6 months of paid leave with all benefits thrown in as if they were on duty during their sabbatical.
