I'm thinking of taking few month off to travel. Either that or I'll just quit my job. I don't have any commitment, and I have another income for me to get by in case I couldn't find a job(if I quit). This is my bucket list and if I don't do it now I'll definitely regret it in the future.

So far nobody in my company ever took sabbatical leave and its definitely not in company policy. But they do have study and exam leave.
I believe most company in Malaysia don't have sabbatical policy, even MNC.

So do share if you know any company in Malaysia who have sabbatical leave, and I appreciate any tips so I can present my application case better biggrin.gif
Anyway I'm the type of staff who never take MC and AL. So there's that. nod.gif

Unless you want to be politically correct.

Quitting your current job is most inadvisable because the current job market constitutes large group of unemployed talents (from HP, BP Asia, Colgate, and etc.). It not that hard to find a person to replace you.

To be honest I don't really worried much about job market. I mean in term of income, I'm covered. Just that my current company is awesome, it would be such a bummer if I have to quit.
Anyway, I'm not taking the leave soon. Maybe later next year. I just want to 'plant' the idea early.

Sabbatical leave are for those who worked a long period in the same company, traditionally taken at the 7th year, mostly to recharge an employee, with new perspective or skill. Some are paid leave depend on your company. I applied mine, 9 months paid leave soon, but I need to provide support to my office once a week. I in banking, sabbatical is common.

Wow! 9month paid leave brows.gif
Maybe common only for upper echelon? is it common for local bank too? Because I've never met anyone who actually took sabbatical leave, except few lecturer/professor. Maybe because I don't have any banker friend.

Getting unpaid leave are another option.

Actually that's what I'm aiming. I want to be excused but still have my job when I return.
Applying for sabbatical with paid is far fetched for me I think.

Other countries maybe you can get it. But not in Malaysia.

i think the culture of sabbatical leave is not in the dictionary of malaysian culture and employers. usually the management will not agree to that.

But my boss is Australian, so I'll try my luck.
