Dependents
Education of
We offer free tuition to the children of teachers. All full time teaching staff are entitled to take
advantage of this benefit. Education in the School will only be provided for the teacher’s
dependents in the age range currently catered for by the School and is subject to the School’s
admissions policy.
The teacher will not be charged a registration fee nor the annual tuition fees. Under Austrian
law these fees represent a taxable benefit. The tuition fee is added to the gross annual salary
and the teacher is taxed on this total. The teacher will be responsible for payment of external
examination fees and for any other charges associated with activities that are additional to the
School’s daily timetable.
Staff with children whose fees are paid in whole or in part by another employer are not eligible
for this benefit.
Leave
Leave entitlement is confined to school
holidays, subject to any requirements
for teachers’ attendance when students
are not in school. This is in accordance
with the schedule of allowed holidays
published each year.
Exceptions to this rule will be made in
cases of moving house (up to 3 working
days), marriage of employee (3 working
days) or employee’s child (1 working
day), birth of employee’s own child (2
working days), attendance at a family
funeral (director discretion depending on
location) and family illness, with medical
certificate indicating the necessity of the
employee’s help (up to 5 working days).
The Director may also grant time off
with or without pay, depending on the
circumstances.
Leave will be granted upon written
request so that the teacher can attend
interviews or one recruitment fair when
seeking a post after notice has been given
to terminate the contract.
