Does anyone know where I can find one? I think that in a standard contract, you are supposed to get a trip home if you renew but my first contract didn't state this and my new one does either.

Am I right or wrong?

It's a paid 2 week trip to the destination of your choice and the 2 week holiday is in addition to your normal holiday allowance.

Click the download link. The contract is at the end of the application package.

to answer your question:

Article 9(Contract Completion)

1.The Term of Employment stated in Article 4 may be renewed by a mutual written agreement between Employer and Employee, provided that each renewed employment term is one(1) year.

2. In the case of renewal of this contract pursuant to the foregoing 1, Employee shall be given a two-week (weekends and holidays included) home leave vacation period which is extra, beyond the 14 days� vacation. Home leave should be taken in the summer vacation just before or just after the contract year is up.

3. In the event Employee travels to his/her home country pursuant to the foregoing 2, Employee will be given a free round-trip ticket. The round-trip airfare (which is less than 75% of Korean Air economy class regular price) for Employee�s flight shall be based on the rate provided for in 4 hereafter. In the event employee does not travel to his/her home country pursuant to the foregoing 2, Employee will be given the amount of money equivalent to the round-trip airfare (which is less than 75% of Korean Air economy class regular price). The round-trip ticket airfare for Employee shall be based on the rate provided for in 4 hereafter.

4. The round-trip airfare for Employee�s home leave shall be loaned by Employer based on Korean Air economy class air-fare(less than 75% of the regular price) of the most direct flight available from Incheon to the airport nearest to Employee�s residence.

5.If Employee completes the Term of Employment without the intention to renew and leaves Korea within 10 days from the expiration date, Employer shall pay the airfare within the limit of 75% of the normal Korean Air economy class for Employee�s one way return flight.

EPIK and SMOE/ETIS contracts should have a similar clause.

You never said who you were with so .... that is the best you're gonna get.

Anyone tried to take that 2 week vacation in the Winter break instead of Summer?

2. In the case of renewal of this contract pursuant to the foregoing 1, Employee shall be given a two-week (weekends and holidays included) home leave vacation period which is extra, beyond the 14 days� vacation. Home leave should be taken in the summer vacation just before or just after the contract year is up.

Seems kind of ridiculous if my contract is up in March and I gotta wait 3 months til the summertime to take the 2 weeks.

I didn't sign up with any of those programs so that's why I'm confused about my contract in comparison to other teachers...

Thanks for your help

I took my home leave in February. No problem. Usually the last 2 weeks of your contract but it is a little flexible depending on your contract start dates.

If you started in March and you re-up you can probably take it anytime during the winter Jan or Feb break when there are no camps or classes scheduled at your school.
