Some larger groups also do criminal-record verification." }, { "q": "What is the leave policy?", "a": "Schools usually offer 10–18 leaves per year on top of public/school holidays. Earned-leave encashment policies vary — check the offer letter." }, { "q": "What is the average Principal salary in Ahmedabad?", "a": "Check the \"Salary snapshot\" section above for the entry / typical / senior band tailored to Principal roles in Ahmedabad.
