This one is showing up more & more frequently. If its a job you feel you would be comfortable in and the conditions / pay are otherwise fine... are you really going to turn down the contract for this clause?

Many schools will have stated in the contract what constitutes a satisfactory completion of the contract and if you read that and are happy with the terms... go for it.

I guess I'm saying I wouldn't let one little clause like that change my decision about an otherwise good job.... If you really want 8000rmb work for a week when you get back home.

Yes ! Because if the school is already plotting on how to cheat you out of 8 to 10,000 RMB, then what other tricks are they going to use in the future to try and trick you out of more money ?

The clause is not about completing the contract. The clause is about your "performance", and the school can use almost any excuse to claim that your performance was "not satisfactory".

They don't need an excuse. They can just say your performance was not satisfactory. Or not say anything. Whaddya gonna do?
