There is a contract and that is just starting pay. You'll increase your pay rate if you have your MEI, every 500 of dual given and every 6 months of employment among other things. Bonuses are also given for first time passes and having students complete the curriculum within the allotted time. We've also had a competition between instructors the last three months with the CFI who has flown the most hours in each month receiving a $1,000 bonus and the overall winner an additional $1,000.
