Che cosa è Career Break? | Glossario HR | BambooHR
An extended period of agreed unpaid leave during which the employment relationship is preserved.
A career break is a longer spell of unpaid leave, agreed between employer and employee, during which the person steps away from work — perhaps to travel, study, care for family or pursue other interests — while retaining a link to their job.
It helps retain valued employees who need time away but would otherwise resign, and it can support wellbeing and long-term loyalty.
Clear terms are essential: the duration, whether return to the same role is guaranteed, and how benefits, service and pension are treated during the break.
