[MagicPotion14]

Thanks for your reply YTMND.

The wage is 2.2 and it's in Ilsan.

I did think the overtime pay was a bit low also.

I will enquire further into the accommodation and overtime pay.

Overall what do think of the contract? Is it okay in general?

[YTMND]

[MagicPotion14]

Thanks again for your help.

I'll see if I can clear any other points up with the school before signing.

I did feel the deposit is quite high, but I don't think that is something I can argue about right now. My primary concern is checking the accommodation is okay tbh. I hadn't noticed that part of the contract when I read it through earlier.

[JustinC]

Immediate termination is warranted in the following circumstances:

ii) The habitual use of drugs or intoxicants to an extent that it impairs, in the opinion of [school], Party B’s ability to properly perform his or her duties.

Any functioning alcoholics out there?

vi) If Party B is convicted of a serious breach of Korean law, resulting in criminal sanctions or deportation.

So as long as I get away with it....
