| When do Hagwons give you your winter break? How long do you get for it? Do they even give you time off or just the public holidays? |

Ask your boss. There is NO consistancy when it comes to hakwon holidays. |

| I found out last week that we don't get winter break. Apparently they'll pay me for unused vacation time but won't give me any time off. |

Tell them they must give you the time off. It's the law. I know your boss probably laughs at the law, but..... |

| Although someone seems to have indicated that time off during winter break is required (I'm not sure I understood what the poster meant) most hagwons work throughout the winter break and the summer break...it's more or less their busiest time, as there's no regular school and the kids can come all day. |

Tell your boss that you will be going to Labor if they don't allow you to use your entitled holiday of 1 day off per month (either by accumulating it or otherwise). I would also contact the tax office, health insurance corporation etc to find out your employer is paying his/her dues.

You can find your local Ministry of Labor office by calling either:
(1) 02-6900-8000 (press 7 when you hear the recording)
Migrant Workers Center in Korea (http://www.migrantok.org)
This center is under the Ministry of Labor, and can tell you how to collect your salary.
(2) 1577-0177 (press 1 when you hear the recording)
Migrant Workers translation service center
This center can help you by translating when you want to talk with the hagwon owner, or the Ministry of Labor.

In every city, there is an office of the Ministry of Labor. Check the website: http://english.molab.go.kr
You can file an appeal to your local office, and the Ministry of Labor will call you and your employer within ten days to hear the complaint. The Ministry of Labor can ORDER your employer to pay any salary/severance, etc. The Ministry also has judicial authority to enforce their decision.
I hope this information helps. |
