Is it possible to get paid while on a sabbatical? Is that even a thing in advertising?

If you find a firm willing to fund your sabbatical, put in a good word for me. I'll drop my position immediately and meet you there. I haven't seen that during my time in advertising, but they'll be more than happy to dock time from your PTO and let you do whatever you'd like.

Not that I've seen. Usually they'll cover your health insurance premiums as if you were still working FT, but nothing else really

I’ve heard of agencies offering paid sabbaticals after like 8+ years on the job

Not in my experience, although they might cover a small portion of it.

Of course! But it would just be taken out of your PTO

The agency I work at has paid sabbaticals but you have to have worked there for 5 years.

I have yet to see a perk like that

Yeah, it was my understanding that sabbaticals are always paid when meeting the requirements. I've been told here it kicks in after 10 years?

Otherwise, what's the difference between a sabbatical and taking FMLA?

Whenever I got promoted to digital ACD a few years ago, I noticed my pay was much lower than I expected for the market I’m in, hard to find skillsets, performance, and visibility I’ve brought to the agency. I’ve brought this up a few times and was told HR would do research into salary equity, but the convo always fades. I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?
