I'm not, and I'm wondering if I'm getting jacked. It's in my contract, but I thought this was standard. I know my "coteacher" is getting overtime.

So, are you getting paid more for doing a camp?

I tend to agree with the last post that, if you signed the contract, then you can hardly call foul when they adhere to the terms of the contract.

No, but the Korean teachers are all teaching classes at the same time, so it is like regualar school. No biggie.

Fair enough.

I am getting paid over and above. I also get accommodation included in my salary (I don't think of it as "free" accommodation as I reckon we earn it along with our wages).

All my Korean colleagues aren't getting paid extra. They aren't thrilled about it.

No, but I'm not not getting paid either. Seems to me that working 1.5 hours per day for 10 days and getting paid for the whole month is fair. But then, I've had jobs where I didn't get paid vacation, and having the summer off is nice...until you start to run out of money.

If someone signs a contract at 1.0, he's getting jacked by industry standards. You know what I'm talking about.

If someone signs for 1.0 he's a retard...or a preacher. Industry standards? This is Korea...where are you going to find standards of any kind?

lol.

I'm doing 2 one week camps, one for my school, one for the city. The school camp is part of my contract, but that's ok since it's only half-days. The city camp is not, so for the city camp I'm receiving pay and accommodation.

If your camp is extra-hours, strange hours, or otherwise more intense than your normal school schedule, you should be receiving compensation. If you are working a couple weeks of half day camps, no weekends, then don't worry about it.
