I get a trip home
every year which is paid
for which is appreciated. The housing provided is of a level that
we are happy with. We get a daily transport allowance, which is
standard in Japan. We pay a lot for medical insurance but have
no choice in
provider and we don't know the details of our insurance i.e.
what it will cover etc so this is a little bug bear. |

think a good contract is one that has a salary that is comparable
with others in the area, allows for a minimum of 25% savings, and
should include a yearly flight home, at least $1000/year for shipping,
housing and utilities fully paid all year round, medical insurance
should also be fully paid and be a good plan (ie. without huge
hassles for reimbursements). A no absence
bonus or
allow for a certain number of sick/personal days. |
