Under the contract, we were to be paid housing allowance until August 15. We were only paid up to May 15. This decision was delivered by Wahib Girgis, Walid Abushakra's business partner, and certainly represented his position as well. As I said earlier, forewarned is forearmed.

Pay scales differ widely in HK but you should expect, depending on experience, etc., to make around HK$35,000 + benefits. Housing is expensive in HK but everything else is pretty reasonable

Last year at this time, several of us who had been at the American International School in Egypt for fairly long periods were informed by the Business Office that we would not be paid our housing allowance, as stated in our contract. We protested loudly but to no avail. They figured, correctly, that they could get away with it because we were all leaving the country.
