Sabbaticals

Hamide Ahmet

Hi All, 

We are a a Financial PR firm and are looking to introduce a sabbaticals policy. We are currently debating how long you have to be employed here before you become eligible and whether it should be paid and what the duration should be?

I would love to hear what others do for this and nay views of what has worked well.

Thanks

 so much in advance.

  • When we introduced a policy on sabbaticals, our founder pointed out that the sabbath is the 7th day and said that they should be open to people in their 7th year. However, the exemption from age discrimination for benefits with a service qualification only applies up to 5 years, so that is what we went with.

    Have you thought of doing some kind of pulse survey on this to find out what the employees think?
