3 months Travelling

Post by wiredjon »

Hi, does anyone know how I would go about getting 2/3 months off travelling. I've read a couple of topics about people getting career breaks for 12 months off travelling but I don't need that much time off. Does anyone know of a way around it so I wouldn't need to apply for a career break? Cheers - Jon

You could apply for special leave C which is leave without pay, Enjoy your travels

I think 12 months is the maximum for a career break so you could apply for a shorter one.

10 years...your seniority is frozen.
• Any period of unpaid special leave will not count towards reckonable service.
