What happens if immigration or whoever catches you teaching privates or working at a second job?

[spliff]

What happens? They bend you right over....

[Kiwi Tart]

anyone got a real answer?

[Yu_Bum_suk]

They could...

- notify your employer who'd have cause to sack you.
- fine you.
- deport you.
- warn you.
- settle for a bribe.
- fine any institution that's employing you illegally.

or any combination of the above.

that's why part time illegal jobs should not follow a paper trail. The employer and you should not even think about signing a contract or exchanging information such as passport or ARC. The other schools should be well aware that they're also engaging in illegal activity so it would also be in their best interests to keep your employment hush.


I feel sorry for you friend, but he kind of dug his own grave. All you can do is wait and keep your mouth shut.

P.S. Yes, an "all of the above" can be found in that list of penalties provided by Yu_Bum_suk.


Good luck man.

Was your unauthorized job at a hagwon?

[CentralCali]

I don't feel sorry for either the OP or his friend. Actually, thanks to the fallout from illegal teachers, the rest of us have to jump through ridiculous hoops now. I hope they both get deported.

I treid to do the second job legally, but my original hagwon wouldn't file the paperwork ,so I quit.

Yes, the second job was at a different hagwon.

Slang for:
I screwed myself and now I have to take my whipping like a big boy.

I think the school will be smart enough not to let you appear in their paperwork...they wouldn't want to screw themselves over. As for the person currently being investigated...what was said before.
