Before leaving for a long time, you will have many arrangements to be home, both for the success of your journey as you return to provide the best possible conditions.
If you work and you are an employee of a company, Act No. 84-4 of 01/03/1984 helps you get a sabbatical under certain conditions: 3 years of service in the company (whether or not consecutive ) and 6 years of professional activity behind you. The leave can last 6 to 11 months, and you may have any paid leave. At the end of your leave, the employer is required to take you back to an equivalent job with equivalent to that before you leave pay.
We must send the employer a request by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt at least three months before departure with your request and the duration of the leave.
The employer must respond to the employee by mail within 30 days. After this time, the agreement is taken for granted. The employer has the option to defer the leave of several months depending on the case. For companies with fewer than 200 employees, it may even refuse it, if negative consequences for the smooth running of the business.

If you can not benefit from the sabbatical, you still have the opportunity to resign, with the amount of risk that entails.
