Top 10 of 3,550 law firms for Career Breaks, Employment

Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.
