MEF INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL-ISTANBUL-2005/2006
FOREIGN-HIRE (Outside Turkey) CONTRACTUAL ITEMS:


We would like to tell you a few things about salary and benefits, which may determine whether or not you would like to pursue your application any further, as per below:

1. The starting salary is from $19,800 to $27,000 USD (dependent on years of experience and if a candidate holds a recognized higher degree). It is all in USD and is tax-free (Turkish). Salary is paid 12 times a year (on the 11th of each month, and the first pay is received in September).

2. Accommodation is provided. 2 possible choices:
A. The units are small studio or one-bedroom furnished apartments, located in a complex beside the school. Furnishings include a television and a dishwasher. Teachers are responsible for utilities and maintenance fees. There is an outdoor pool at the apartment complex. Some of the units have balconies; some do not. The single teacher units range from 38 – 55 square meters in size; the units for couples from 60 – 82 square meters. Many of the units are dark due to most being on lower floors, and being close to other buildings in the complex.
B. There is another complex (2 buildings) on the Asian side, about 45-60 minutes from the school. These flats are suitable for families – they are 2 or 3 bedroom flats, very spacious. However, the location is not in central Istanbul; It is a suburb. There is a service bus for teachers to the school and home each day. All utilities and maintenance is paid by the teachers, but the flats are of course rent-free (the same as with the flats beside the school). There is an outdoor pool.

3. Airfare is in/out at start/end of contract (Istanbul-home of record).

4. Baggage allowance is $400 USD at start/end of contract.

5. Health/Medical insurance.
