I wonder. Is the 10 minute break counted as a "recess"? Also, how many get this:

Quote:
Article 53 (Recess Hours)

(1) An employer shall allow a recess period of more than 30 minutes for every 4 working hours and more than 1 hour for every 8
working hours during the working hours.

It seems so easy. What if Korea is your home?



Well, Real Reality, that's a whole different ball game. In fact, it's probably easier for you to deal with these guys because you are (or will be) either a citizen or a permanent resident of some sort. You probably have the power of the law behind you better then the guys who are there temporarily.

nothing (for you) directors are ignorant and use it against you to protect themselves, but will turn around and break it in 8 different places and pretend that they didn't understand english...but they understand very well what goes in their favor. You can burn any contract you come across. Just been my experience...

well kiddirts.... it seems you don't really have a good handle on the situation in korea after my (& others) having to reply to your silly questions about visas... a contract is worthless untill you have the e2 visa stamp in your passport.. after that it is a legal document you can use with the labor board if things go sour..
