[@waseemakd]

after almost 5 years of service and a teacher resigns from a school by june and the contract states a 3 month notice to be served , the school stated that the notice cant be served during summer break therefore theyre deducting the entire notice pay and a big part of the end of service. is that legal?

[@ckeleher2011]

What about teaching hours? What is maximum amount of teaching hours per day?

[@hellakenza3399]

I would like to know what are my benefits if I comlete the contract. how many days annuel leave should I take.

[@bharatisangle3783]

If i want to

[@user-qe6so3ke5l]

Hi, can I serve my notice period during my spring break? My contract says notice period of 1 month

[@umarali1966]

What about the non compete clause?

[@mkay0077]

Thank you for the important information. Just to ask, if i want to leave my two year contract a year early, i just have to give them notice?I won't have to pay compensation?

[@teachmiddleeast]

You should not have to pay compensation. Get in touch with MOHER for more specific information.

The maternity starts the day you give birth or earlier, depending on your employer.
