I work at a Public High School and and it says in my contract that I will hold extra classes during the summer vacation. My coteacher said the school will not pay me for these classes because they take place during my vacation time.

If I am holding summer classes during the break, does that not mean I am doing extra work and therefore they have to pay me for such work?

I'm a little confused on the issue and want to clarify things. If they owe me for the extra classes I want to make sure I get paid for them.

Usually you are not entitled to the same amount of vacation time that Korean teachers have. Nearly all public school teachers have to run a camp for 1-3 weeks. The rest of the time is your official vacation.

There was a thread a couple weeks ago about getting pay for camps and most public school teachers don't get paid extra.

Thanks for the info.

Hey

When I did vacation classes at my high school I didn't get paid any extra. But, the Korean teachers were also doing them aswell and they didn't get paid extra either.

However, if you do any classes in addition to your scheduled/contracted class hours in the week then you are entitled to overtime pay.

Is the question about getting paid at all for doing the summer classes, or getting paid on top of the normal salary we're supposed to receive?
