 This is the funniest thing I've read on here for a while!!!
Its entirely possible this is no hoax..I actually reckon contracts will get worse in Korea in the coming months as competition for jobs increases..
At least the school is being honest about exactly what to expect!!!!!!! |

The entire thing is extremely laughable.. every single last line of it.. but I'll highlight the worse if its possible to pull out the worse..
| Quote: |
| In the event that the Employee teaches for less then 120 hours (7,200 actual minutes spent teaching) the Employer will assign various chores to the Employee to complete so as to be paid in full. |
| Quote: |
Any tasks completed unsatisfactory or unfinished will be deducted from the pay.
|
| Quote: |
| The Employee shall be given a code to use the copy machine. The Employer assumes no responsibility for lost, forgotten, stolen, or misused codes. The code will credit the employee with 5 �free� copies per day. Any copies over the initial 5 will be charged to the employee at the rate of 500 won per copy. |
| Quote: |
[5] The Employer will provide 1 internet connected computer for every 2 teachers. A login system will be used and tracking software will be installed. Any attempt to circumvent said software will immediately result in loss of login credentials. Additionally the Employer reserves the right to monitor and record any and all activities on the Employers computers.
|
| Quote: |
| [6] The Employer will offer a meal plan to the Employee. The meal plan will cost 9,500 won per meal at the Institute. This will give the Employee an opportunity to eat healthy and delicious Korean meals at a deeply discounted price. |
| Quote: |
| [7] A list with all Foreign Employees names shall be posted on the first of the month assigning common area and school / Korean staff vehicle clean up duties. Those Employees with vehicle duties will be expected to completely wash and wax the vehicles they are assigned to once a week. Additionally the vehicles must be cleaned daily after the last vehicle has returned to the Institute for the day. The vehicle operator will make the final determination on vehicle cleanliness. |
| Quote: |
| [7] In order to conform to Koreas strict fire codes the Employer shall have the right to conduct safety inspections and fire drills at the Employees home at any time. |
| Quote: |
| [5] The Employee will sign a �no compete� contract stating that they will not teach any students not specified by the director and if they break the contract, agree not to teach English in Korea for a period of 5 calendar years. |
| Quote: |
[9] Female employees will take all reasonable steps to ensure that their personal and menstrual odor does not become disruptive.
[10] Employees will wash their hair at least once every 2 days and maintain proper nail hygiene at all times. |
| Quote: |
| [12a] Additionally a 12 am curfew will be imposed Monday to Thursday to ensure that the Employees are receiving the proper amount of sleep. |

| I love the bit about 9,500 won for a cafeteria meal being "deeply discounted," I can get a decent meal of spicy bone soup for 4,000 in restaurants in my town. That just can't be real, all of the bits about fining teachers for random minor breaches isn't something I've ever heard of. |

| [3] That where the Employee has worked the entire contract without absence, the Employee shall be granted a lunch at �Carne Station� (various locations in Seoul) with all you can eat of food and beverages that are normally offered during lunch to be paid for by the Employer. |
There's motivation for you...

Is there anybody this contract does not offend? Can you count the number
of laws this contract would break?
Are you "camera ready" at all times?
Does this include while one is urinating "during the workday"?
[7] Employees must be "camera ready" at all times during the workday as there will be sporadic photographs and video shot during the year.
[8] Male employees will shave daily. Male employees will take reasonable steps to ensure that their personal odor will not become disruptive.
[9] Female employees will take all reasonable steps to ensure that their personal and menstrual odor does not become disruptive.
Is this a problem?
Have you ever been disrupted by menstrual odor? |

I'd like to send a letter of interest.. complete with questions like..
1) How big are the vehicles I'd have to wash?
2) I learned 'annyonghaseyo' but I promise not to use it in the classroom, would this be a problem?
3) Is it okay if I stay out until 12:15am as I like to look at the moon as the new day comes in - religious practice.
Is there anyway to send an email to them?  |

| Get Out of here! This as got to be a hoax. Either that or it's from that Kid's Herald near DaeCheong subway. Only the Songs could be the masterminds of such a fiendish plot oops contract. If I read this correctly a guy like me would be owing them money every month. |
