There have been so many h1b related changes lately so i dont even know what’s possible, but

is it still possible to take a 3-6 month sabbatical on h1b?

My firm will pay 20pc of my salary if i take it so I will still be on payroll.

You can do it if the firm approves it. My suggestion is to keep it at that. More parties you loop in more red tape.
