 Posted: Tue Nov 20, 2007 3:35 pm Post subject: Severance for One Year |
 |
|
I teach at two public schools. My main school told me that I may not get my severance because I signed for a contract that started 3/1/07 and ends 2/28/08. The reason for this is that year 2008 is a leap year and there are 29 days in February. Therefore, I am one day shy of completing one year as required by law.
Is this right? |

| They are wrong. Your contract should say that you are employed for the period of one year. That would mean that it goes from 3/1/07 to 2/29/08. Tell them that you will happily speak with the Office of Education and the Labor Board about this issue if they don't pony up the money. |

Agreed. They're messing you around. You contract stipulates the duration of the contract, so if you work the duration of the contract and finish on the date that is written there then you GET your severance payment, simple as! Centralcali is right, I'm sure the Labour board would have something to say about this. |

Christ, Korea is so fucked up.
Anyone remember that article about daylight savings time and how some gov't officials were worried that employers would abuse it? I showed it to my boyfriend and he agreed, they would.
Korea sucks. I can't wait to get the *beep* out of here. Neither can the boyfriend.
(Having a bad day.)
Call you coordinator or Labor Board. Call Labord Board in front of the main school. Let Labor Board rip them a new one. Hey, oddity of oddities, Labor Board found that a school owed me money when I was working without a visa. Who knew? |
