I was wondering if it is right that i have found myself cleaning the toilets, windows, and floors as part of my daily routine. This was not in my contract.

My director has told me that my cleaning duties mean i dont have to work weekends:)

Im not Is this normal guys?

I take it you are working in a hagwon. ???? If so, you are either contracted for Saturdays or not. I would say it is normal to clean you class room at the end of the day. When I was in a hagwon I used to sweep and mop the floor and clean mthe desks. but everything else was a cleaners job.

I would seriously talk to your director about it, you came here to teach English not clean toilets. good luck.

No way! It doesn't say anything about that in your contract right? Then it's not your job. I'm contracted 8:30 - 4:30 Monday to Friday, as an English Teacher. Refuse, refuse, refuse!

Does your contract contain something about being assigned "extra duties"....?

[dirkdiggler]

yes it does talk about extra duties but not into any detail.

Im just concerned because next week he wants me to do his families laundry, i can deal with the cleaning work but i feel it may go too far...

[AussieGav]

What??/ Family's laundry .. no way. I'm sure that could never fall under "extra duties" as said before refuse refuse refuse

what's wrong with doing your boss' laundry? i think it builds a closer bond. so i do all of the teachers' laundry and i'm at a public school. if they bring their children's laundry, i do that too.

I do my principal's baby's diapers.

So, you went to university for 4-years so that one day you'd end up cleaning stinky, Korean pissrims?

Nice. I'm sure your mother's proud you loser.
