Holidays and other benefits
 

Ok i'm clear on how much is a good offer as base salary at my level, and I know about the free flight, healthcare and dental, but is there a standard amount of holiday that I should be offered? is this negotiable? only asking as a friend of mine said that the employment law is 20 days and its usually non-negotiable.

apart from housing is there anything else i should be looking at getting as part of the deal without over-stretching my worth?

PS; don't have kids so won't need a school package.

Its actually 30 days and this is in the law. This doesn't stop employers from trying to give less as mine does.

Plus loads of public holidays.:)

Re: Holidays and other benefits
 

The 30 day allowance includes public holidays.

i'd better let my friend know as she's only getting 20 and doesn't get most public holidays off :thumbsup:

the 20 day holiday thing almost killed off my dreams just then.

hmm i just found flydubai so i guess i won't need to take that much time off with flights that cheap.

Re: Holidays and other benefits
 

if Fly Dubai happens that is ...

Re: Holidays and other benefits
 

hmm good point... it's a shame because it's cheaper for me to fly to dubai and take a flight to lebanon from there
