The National Study of Employers, which surveyed workplaces with 50 or more employees, found that 49% of employers allow some employees to take sabbaticals paid or unpaid of 6 months or more and return to a comparable job in comparison to 28% of employers that allow all or most employees to take sabbaticals paid or unpaid of 6 months or more and return to a comparable job.
