Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Sabbaticals are temporary leaves of absence from an organization, usually at reduced pay. Although sabbaticals have been used for years in the academic community, they have only recently entered the private sector. Often sabbaticals help to reduce turnover and keep workers from burning out, hopefully returning revitalized and more committed to their work. Sabbaticals are not without its challenges. Overachievers may experience difficulty in letting go of their work and worry about their job if they are gone for extended periods. Then there is the problem of scheduling who will take up the slack while the person on sabbatical is gone. But, most organizations using sabbaticals have discovered that the benefits outweigh the challenges.
