7 mins confidence: 
given sabbatical leave Explanation: Probably the best way of describing someone who has been given leave of absence - unpaid usually - but with the possibility of returning without any problem. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2013-11-08 12:22:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This could be short-term as the person accompanies partner, and is awaiting a post to become available in the new area. |

peer agreement (net): +4granted leave of absence Explanation: Note that "placé en disponibilité" IS NOT the same thing as "congé sabbatique/sabbatical leave" in the French education system. "Congé sabbatique" is generally for a fixed period of 6 or 12 months and no justification needs to be give. "En disponibilité" is for an undetermined period of time and generally a reason is given. In both cases you are not paid. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 40 mins (2013-11-08 12:45:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also another important difference is that with a "congé sabbatique/sabbatical leave" you normally get your old job back after its period has ended. However when a "disponibilité" lasts more than 2 years you don't (necessarily) get your old job back and will have to go through the "mutation" system again. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 52 mins (2013-11-08 12:57:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Cas de mise en disponibilité et durée 2- La disponibilité sur demande accordée de droit pour : "suivre son conjoint ou le partenaire avec lequel le fonctionnaire est lié par un PACS, astreint professionnellement à établir sa résidence habituelle en un lieu éloigné du lieu d'exercice des fonctions de l'agent : durée de trois ans maximum renouvelable si les conditions requises pour obtenir la mise en disponibilité sont réunies ;" http://www.education.gouv.fr/cid58017/vie-professionnelle-et... |
