Studies during employment

Study leave allows employees to study. Study leave allows you to take time off to study or get more qualifications.

You have the right to take up to two years of study leave within five years if you have worked for the same employer in one or more periods for a total of at least one year. You can take up to 5 days of study leave, if your employment has lasted for at least 3 months in one or more periods.

You can choose what you study during a study leave, as long as it is subject to official supervision. The studies do not have to be related to your work.

You must submit the application for study leave to your employer in writing well in advance before the beginning of the studies.
