We provide family status cover - medical and visas etc....but NOT if it is the wife we employ.
EG: You get employed, we'd provide you with medical and visa, but your husband coming with you? He needs to sort his shit out......and yes, we're Western (I think this rule is disgusting personally).

No set rules/norms, depends on the firm. Most would cover family visa and medical.

So, we will no longer have health insurance. Well, if I go for Job B, anyway.

We're all currently under my husband's sponsorship but he cannot sponsor us anymore. This is because he works in AD but we live in Dubai. They recently changed the rules so that you have to have an AD Tenancy Contract if you want to sponsor your family.

Ways round it:
1. Ask for health for you + kiddies.
2. Kids cover will cost 15,000 (for example) for the year...so you need to ask for an extra AED1,250 per month on the package.

Re: Paying rent in 1 or 4 cheques
It might be 1,000 per kid for the year...which would make it almost pointless being bothered by it.
Just different ways of looking at having the cover.

Thanks Scamp, I get it. Appreciate your help.
ETA: Just tried to give you some karma, but apparently I only give karma to you and Millhouse and need to 'spread it around' a bit first.

Re: Paying rent in 1 or 4 cheques
Have you asked if it is possible to include your childen on the company policy if you pay the premiums? That can usually be done very easily as it's just a case of the employer wanting to keep costs down. Usually cheaper than arranging personal plans.
