Dear Experts,
Could you please explain about "SABBATICAL LEAVE" in detail? Are there any financial impacts for the organization? If an employee takes a two-month sabbatical leave and upon return, the organization does not have any openings, can we ask them to leave without any notice period? I kindly request your suggestions on best practices according to the law.
Thank you.

Dear Krishna,
"Sabbatical Leave" means, in short, the extended absence in the career of an individual to fulfill some goal of his or her choice like writing a book or traveling extensively for research. This is also called a career break or gap year, etc.
The term "sabbatical" comes from the Old Testament practice of letting fields lie fallow every seven years. Hence, some employers include sabbatical leave in their leave policy to enable their employees of a certain category to have the opportunity to take a break from their job for a predetermined time period to develop their careers. Thus, it has the ingredients of purpose, compensation, and a definite period of prior service under the same employer.
The purpose of sabbatical leave should be closely related to the career of the employee. It can be a paid leave or unpaid leave of absence while keeping the service intact.
The prior service in the organization required for this leave may vary from 3 to 6 years in general. Similarly, the duration of the sabbatical leave may also vary from 3 months to one or two years depending on its purpose.
Regarding your final query, I do not think it is fair. However, you can do so after having a consultation with the concerned employee.
