Sabbatical Leave

A sabbatical is a long break from work, usually unpaid, to pursue personal interests, travel, or recover from stress. While not a legal right in Australia, companies can offer them as a reward to retain employees and boost morale. Consider implementing a sabbatical leave policy outlining eligibility, duration, and process, especially for dedicated employees in smaller businesses. Remember, it's different from long service leave and employers can refuse requests based on your policy.
