I have been at a Hagwan here in Ulsan for almost 60 days now. I have been paid once, with my next payday coming in about 12 days. My contract says I get 2.2 million won per month, but I was paid 2.0, told I would get a receipt for what 200k was taken out. I asked about it the other day with no real answer. I am pretty sure that I am not getting pension for november, and at this point I am also concenred about december. I have no idea if they even took out Tax. I saw my gas bill, all I know that is it said 8,700 won.

Without causing a major stir.....how can I fix this stuff? (things have been pretty tolerable lately, after my first couple weeks which were hell because of the director on my case everyday)

My questions are; What is the Tax rate and how can I find out if they are paying it?

What deduction totals do you guys have total each month? I figured about 200,000 won, but I am unsure....especially if pension is not being paid into.

Thanks in advance

It could have been a housing/damage deposit. You should be getting pay stubs. Tell your boss you need pay stubs to wire money home. There should be a complete breakdown of what you paid out,

I've asked before, and I will ask again. Most of your concerns can be cleared up with a quick conversation. A number of English teachers are meeting tonight for a bit of drinking and talking. Shoot me a message. You can join in our little circle for the night and get some sound advice. We will be near Ilsan Beach.
