Application for leave of absence by agreement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no general rule that gives an employee an automatic right to all unpaid leave of absence. If no specific law, agreement, or collective bargaining provision grants a right to leave, the employer normally needs to approve it.

Study leave according to the Act (1974:981)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the conditions of the Act, an employee has a right to necessary leave for education. Usually, there is a requirement for six months of consecutive employment with the employer or a total of at least twelve months during the last two years, with exceptions for certain union training. The employer can, under certain conditions, \u003cstrong\u003epostpone the start of the leave\u003c\/strong\u003e, and special union procedures may apply. Use the study leave application in document 02.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3. Leave to conduct business activities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Act (1997:1293) may grant a right to \u003cstrong\u003efull-time leave for a continuous period of no more than six months\u003c\/strong\u003e. Among the conditions are a qualifying period, that the business activity does not compete with the employer, and that the leave does not cause substantial inconvenience to the employer's operations. As a general rule, the notification must be made at least three months before the start of the leave, and the employer should normally provide notice within one month of the notification. The conditions and any collective agreements must be examined. Use document 03.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEmployer notification and documentation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDocument 04 helps the employer document the receipt, basis for decision, supplements, or a \u003cstrong\u003elegally required postponement\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is not a general form for refusing statutory study leave or leave for business activities without assessment.
