Education Leave

All employees of VMware South Korea may apply for Educational Leave. You may take a leave of absence of up to 365 days of unpaid Educational Leave. VMware may grant this leave in its discretion, taking into account the type of education, and the business needs of the company.

Benefits and Service

If you take an Educational Leave your length of service will stop accruing for the duration of your leave. You will also not be eligible for Flexible Benefits and child school expense support during this time.

Conduct During Leave

While on Education Leave you are still considered a VMware employee and must continue to comply with all rules of conduct, including the Business Conduct Guidelines [VMware network access required]. During your leave, you may not work at another company without prior approval from VMware. If you work at another company, while out on leave, without pre-approval, you will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

Scheduling Educational Leave

You should inform your manager and HR Source [VMware network access required] of your desire to take Education Leave so that proper arrangements can be made prior to the leave period.

Reinstatement from Leave

At least two (2) weeks prior to returning to work, you must contact your manager and HR Source [VMware network access required] to discuss reinstatement.
