Teachers' Load - Teachers normally
carry a maximum load of 18 classes per week but may
be asked to teach additional classes, when the need
for substitution arises, at overtime rates. There is
occasional Saturday duty as well. The classes last an
hour and twenty minutes and are offered from 7:30 in
the morning until 9:00 in the evening. The contract
includes fifteen working days of vacation per year in
addition to a week at Christmas and a week at the end
of the Muslim Ramadhan period during which times the
schools are closed.
Salary - The base salary is
in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) and after successfully completing
a year contract the teacher is awarded a thirteenth
month bonus. The cost of a return flight to the point
of origin is also covered by EF.
Housing is shared with two or three
other teachers in an EF rented, furnished house.
Those who wish to make their own housing arrangements
will receive an additional monthly housing allowance.
The salary permits a comfortable lifestyle including
the cost of vacation travel within Indonesia.
Medical Expenses - EF offers
a two tiered Health package to teachers on a full time
contract. In the case of hospitalization teachers are
covered by health Insurance. As with any health insurance
provision there are of course limits, but we feel that
the insurance will be adequate for nearly all cases
in which in-patient treatment is required.
EF also offers limited payment of out-patient
medical expenses, although there are limits on the type
of out-patient expenses that can be refunded under this
scheme. We are happy to address specific questions relating
to health insurance during the application process.
