I have had a colleague who did not complete his college degree take a paid study leave to go and complete it in 3 years and on coming back, gets reinstated in the organization. I think it is a good thing to allow workers to improve their qualifications when working in an organization.

Do you have study leave in your country? How does it work?

Not really but most companies do this, especially in a situation where the staff is extremely dedicated and good in what they do, they allow them go out for a particular Period of time before coming back.

I know that the challenge most companies would have is if the staff would come back to the organization after the study leave. Or would leave them to work in another organization.

No, there is no such thing as that. There are many students who have to leave their jobs in order to pursue education. The only exception is that if you are a student who holds a high position in the company.

My mom was a beneficiary of study leave. She didn't have the opportunity to go to school earlier in life and had to complete her education after she started working. I think it is a great benefit that organizations can offer their staff.

Not so common in my location. Only big corporations offer study leave to employees with high potential. Some companies even pay tuition fees for the employees as it is considered as part of the training program.

In my home country, you get up to 2 years of study leave. However, this leave is unpaid leave. Once you complete your education you can rejoin your previous job.

That's right I agree with you. If here it is rare that someone allows time off to work for years to study. Mostly there are leave for sick people, women giving birth, and leave for an important matter. Maternity leave is usually 1 month, if leave is for important matters, usually it can't be more than 7 days.

I am not sure if I got your main point here. In my view, there are some students who go abroad to have their further study. They claimed that it is a great opportunity to enhance their credentials and land good jobs in their respective countries.

A study leave involves a company allowing a staff to stay off work to further his or her qualifications while still being paid by the organization.

I know so many companies would be scared if such a staff would leave after the training. But some companies do it and make the staff to sign a contract of allegiance..

I do think that some companies allow their employees to have their further studies. Although I have not seen someone who got this opportunity. I will take it if I was given the chance.

It is rampant in my country. I think any organization that values tr career growth of it's staff would allow it but it should be based on a contract negotiated between the Staff and the organization.

I Think that you can get study leaves in some countries. However, it depends on what kind of job you have. There are a few companies in my country and they never allow such leaves.

Study leaves are mostly found among those in the academia to help them get higher qualifications. A masters degree holder can be granted a study leave to complete his PhD.

Of course, there are study leave in my country and it is basically available for government workers.
It is true that it is always available for government workers. I know of a lot of people that started working in the civil service with a lower qualification. They got study leave to advance their qualifications and came back to advance their career.

I think that is available in the government sector. The public servants in my country can access study leave whenever the government requires that for its employers in a matter of fact.
