Occasional Saturdays may go to events, parent meetings, or PD sessions." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at Orchids The International School?", "a": "Most schools have a defined band per role but the final number is negotiable within it. The strongest levers are recent teaching experience, board expertise, and willingness to take on coordinator/extra-curricular responsibilities." }, { "q": "Will I get PF and statutory benefits?", "a": "Most registered schools enrol staff in EPF from day one and pay statutory gratuity. ESI cover applies if your gross is within the eligibility limit at joining." }, { "q": "What does a typical day look like?", "a": "School days usually run 7.5–8 hours with 5–6 teaching periods, plus prep, lunch and one or two non-teaching duties (homework checks, library, club).

Specific board requirements (CTET, IB workshops, IGCSE training) may also apply." }, { "q": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?", "a": "Response times vary, but shortlisted candidates are typically contacted within a week.
