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.

  • Two years for eligibility has been pretty standard in the organisations I've worked in previously (private sector), but I am currently on secondment/career break from my current UK employer (public sector) after 19 months in service, so some organisations do allow it sooner. I think in the UK Civil Service you are eligible any time after passing probation, which is usually 6 months - 1 year depending on the department, but always at the discretion of the department.
