A career break in England is an arrangement allowing an extended, usually unpaid, pause from work while preserving the employment relationship. A solicitor helps you negotiate the break, draft the agreement, check how it interacts with your contract, pay, pension and eligibility for benefits, and plan your return with clear terms and notice periods. They also advise on what to do if the employer changes the arrangement or your return is delayed.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The main stakes are preserving future employment and pension rights while managing gaps in pay or continuity. A solicitor provides advice on the terms, ensures the agreement is enforceable, and clarifies what happens if you cannot return on the agreed date or if the employer withdraws the break.

Lorna Watts

Tagged solicitor Lorna Watts

LDJ have always hooked after me when I need it whether it has been a Will or an employment issue. It is a very friendly environment and everyone does go the extra miles. Nothing was too much bother including a last minute request for a last minute appointment which was possible. I would certainly recommend them as the go to Solicitors in the town.
