Does a gap of 10 days between relieving and joining dates considered as a break in service? For example, if the relieving date is 20th Feb and the joining date is 1st March, does this gap considered as a break in service?

Dear Pankaj,

Generally, a gap of 1 month between two jobs is not considered a break. At least, I did not consider it, and neither have I found anyone doing so. Many times we have to handle domestic chores, and getting leave can be difficult. The best thing to do is to complete activities like conducting some religious ceremonies, visiting religious places, going on holidays, or doing minor repairs in the house during this period.

In your case, a break of ten days is quite small; therefore, you may not need to worry about it too much. However, every HR department may have their own interpretations. Therefore, other senior members may offer their opinions. When you go for an interview, you should have a convincing reply regarding that ten-day break.

If some companies start pointing out these small breaks, it may reflect the culture of "nitpicking" or "cavilling" within their company.

Thanks,

Dear Mr. Pankajv1,

It is not considered a gap if it is 10 days -- it is an interlude in order to prepare for the next job obtained. A gap is typically taken to transition from one organizational culture to another, specifically.

The time delay is viewed as sequential, especially for a role that holds significance and value, unless one can join immediately to showcase their targeted accomplishments and put their best foot forward. In many cases, it is more crucial to be able to verbally explain oneself, as some companies prefer individuals who are not easily intimidated.

Thank you.
