Salary and Overseas Teaching Contracts

One thing to watch out for when you are signing an overseas teaching contract is that you are going to be paid for a full 12 months in the year, rather than the 10 months you'll be working.

Getting paid for only 10 months of your year teaching is not a common practice in international schools but it does happen and it could have devastating result on your family's fincances if you are not prepared.

Your overseas teaching contract should clearly state how much you will be paid, when you will be paid, the period of the contract that you will be paid for and who is responsible for any local taxes.
