  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "When are increments and bonuses given?",
      "a": "Annual increments are usually announced in March/April, alongside the new academic year. Performance-linked bonuses vary by school — some pay a one-month festive bonus, others none."
    },
    {
      "q": "When does the school want the joining date to be?",
      "a": "Joining dates are usually negotiable around the school calendar. Mid-term joining is common for replacement vacancies; new positions often align to April or the start of the next term."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is this a fixed-term or open-ended contract?",
      "a": "The employment type is shown in the Key Facts section above. Fixed-term roles usually align to the academic year; permanent roles are open-ended after probation. The final letter will spell out renewal and exit terms."
    },
    {
      "q": "What is the leave policy?",
      "a": "Teaching staff typically get all school holidays plus 8–15 casual/sick leaves per academic year. Long vacations (summer, winter, Diwali, Holi breaks) follow the published school calendar."
    },
    {
      "q": "Will I get PF and statutory benefits?",
      "a": "Yes — established schools provide EPF (Provident Fund) and gratuity (after 5 years), and most also provide ESI for staff under the wage threshold. Specifics are spelled out in the offer letter."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is school transport available for staff?",
      "a": "Staff transport varies. Larger schools with their own fleet usually allow staff onboarding on existing routes; smaller schools may not run dedicated routes."
    },
    {
      "q": "Do I have to work weekends?",
      "a": "Standard week is Monday to Saturday (often half-day Saturday). Occasional event Sundays exist (Annual Day, Sports Day, admissions test days) and are usually compensated with a comp-off."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is accommodation provided?",
      "a": "Day schools generally don't provide accommodation. The school may help with referrals to nearby PGs or rentals during your relocation."
    },
    {
      "q": "How will I know if my application is being reviewed?",
      "a": "Every status change (viewed, shortlisted, interview scheduled, offered) is pushed to your dashboard and email. Turn on job alerts for the same role in the same city so you don't lose momentum if this one pauses."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is English fluency required?",
      "a": "Yes — instruction is in English at most the school's schools. Comfortable English communication for classroom delivery and parent meetings is expected."
