word explanation: "sabbatical" - a free year somehow seemed the word "sabbatical" to irritate a lot - it is a time-out. Some asked if I would go this year to the monastery because it has indeed something to do with religion. Has not. I use the word only because it is the official designation for a free year, which one has previously "worked" with the employer.
means Applied to the world of work the sabbatical year that an employee is leaving after six years, such as the workplace to take a break. After this time round workers recovered well and returned with renewed vigor in the company. He could do in that time holidays or to fulfill another request, for example, an international internship or participate in a longer training. In the world of work may take a sabbatical year, usually between three and twelve months (because it sometimes takes less than a year, it is often American "sabbatical" is named).
course, a sabbatical to be financed. Save up you can, for example, by getting paid for an agreed period, only a portion of salary, that is, who agreed to the "seventh" scheme, seven years waived long every month to one-seventh of its income (and also to corresponding pension rights) . The work (teaching) volume remains unchanged.
Back to the religious origin of the word. It can describe the seventh year in which the field lies fallow to allow the soil to regenerate: The Sabbath year is originally a term from the Old Testament. After his year again a better harvest is expected.
