The appointment letter or the school's written HR policy is the authoritative source — confirm what applies before treating it as compensation." }, { "q": "Can I negotiate the salary at The Cedar Schools, Block - C?", "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": "How long does it take to hear back after applying?", "a": "Most schools review applications within 5–10 working days.

Benefits like PF and gratuity continue to accrue from day one regardless." }, { "q": "Will I get PF and statutory benefits?", "a": "Most registered schools enrol staff in EPF from day one and pay statutory gratuity.
