minimum Career Break?

Post by Limey »

'Ello,

I did search this forum, but did found no answers, even my boss do not know the accurate answers.

What's the minimum career break i can get? 2 weeks?

So far i know i can see is there are 6 months, 1 year career break....

Can i not get a 1 month career break or maybe 3 weeks?
Even better.. Can i not have a career break UNTIL my boss from delivery office found me an available job nearby at my new home?

Cheers

thats not a caree break,its unpaid leave
so in short,your career break involves not having a job near where you have moved to?

A career break entitles you to take 12 months off unpaid in a 3 year period. If you want 12 months off i one go, you must return to work for a week before continuing with it. I know because i took time off to go travelling.
