[QUOTE="laby201, post: 172174, member: 10161"] What does it say in your employment contract? If it mentions you not being able to have employment elsewhere without informing them, you're pretty much obligated to unless you wanted to be in breach of contract, especially if written approval is required. I completely get the second part, but I think most employers will know that a training contract is the ultimate aim for the majority of those in the legal field (presuming you're a paralegal or similar) and should be understanding. If they're not and don't allow you to do it, I suppose you have the choice of whether to resign or to not do the vacation scheme. It is an awkward predicament, but I think (dependent on your contract) you're in the position where you have to tell your employer. I would hope there would be zero complications though :) [/QUOTE]
