questions to ask potential employers
Hi
I am visiting Bahrain in Jan to determine conditions of employment for a potential job.
I would like to know what questions I should be asking the employer when working in the Middle East.
Should I ask for a work contract? What should be covered in the contract?
What should I be careful of?
Any information will be useful
Many thanks

)Just checked my contract.......it should typically include:
- Your salary break-up (details of basic, housing, school, utilities, club, car, exchange loss component, medical, flights, gratuity....)
- Your probationary period (typically 6 months)
- Notice period (typically no notice during the first 6 months, thereafter by mutual agreement - between 1 and 3 months)
- Leave enititlement (specify whether calendar or working days)- Annual, sick....etc (most of the other types of leave are standard and will be covered in their HR policy)
Good Luck....

Re: questions to ask potential employers
If you already have the JD and know what the job entails, then you can be pretty direct when negotiating the contract - basically make sure that whatever is promised/advised verbally is provided in writing. Make notes of your discussions (or take a small recording device )
