I did a couple of short term contracts in SZB and worked for Richard Fox of GTF Engineering. He paid at the end of the month promptly, unlike the other shower (Star) that had people there, they did not pay till well after you went and did not honour the accom commitment.
Got a share flat and a car to get to/from.
Probably the most unhappy place I have ever worked as the locals are highly trained but poorly paid, and they resent contract people like hell because we get paid a great deal more than they do.
I believe the long term contract staff got 5USD less than we did, and no accomodation or car, but you would need to se what the situation is currently. It was a few years since I was there, and they have lost a lot more to EK lately, although they are not very happy being shafted either.
