If you intend to teach in a foreign country it may be well worth your time reading through this site - which whilst mostly discussing Korea, contains principles applicable to all EFL countries.

"For most teaching contracts, there is very little at stake to everyone except the teacher and, consequently, the police, government, and even lawyers, are not too anxious to get involved. Although this might be discouraging to teachers, the best advice is to negotiate what you can prior to arriving in your chosen country, make sure you have a written contract with an English translation that has been reviewed, and finally, be prepared to cut and run if necessary (always have the funds for a trip home)."

Some issues to consider on your future contract

If you are applying from within the country of employment, you have the advantage of meeting the school/institution owner and discussing any provisions of the contract you have been presented. Determine that the person you are negotiating with does in fact have authority to represent the institution and that contractual arrangements will be binding; (e.g. some universities leave the interview to western teachers on their staff. Though they may make promises, they are not in a position to legally bind their employer.) The key areas you will be discussing are:-
(a) monthly wage
(b) hours worked and when and what constitutes an 'hour'
(c) holiday and annual leave provisions
(d) health insurance and deductions
(e) accommodation
(f) contract length
(g) any other salary deductions
(h) pension contribution and return of said pension contribution at the end of contract
(i) accommodation.
(j) Immigration laws
(k) Landlord Tenant laws

As noted above, some institutions have fixed non negotiable contracts. If you do nevertheless, negotiate a change, confirm it is written into both English and local language versions of the contract. Oral agreements can be forgotten or explained as a miscommunication. Then do check the local version mirrors the English version.
