As they are not going to pay for at least your last month, then there is that much less severance to pay as well, as they typically calculate severance as an average of the last three months of the contract.

(Not sure how many years ago this happened ... ) When it came time for Sogang's uni-gwon to give all of their teachers raises, they told them that they would have to let them all go, because the uni-gwon was closing. All the teachers lost their jobs. Then the uni-gwon, rather than closing, hired an all-new staff, at entry-level salaries.
