Is this normal? It seems rather low...

Quote:
Employer may require Employee to work overtime in addition to normal Work Days and Work Hours. In this case, overtime pay will be provided (6,000won/hour).

It's one of the many fatal flaws of the EPIK contract.

If they have, they're an idiot because, unless your regular wage works out to W4000 per hour, the contract doesn't meet the Labor Standards Act. The clause is therefore void and has no effect (I keep saying that today). Wink

"Teaching" overtime is 30,000 won/hour. That's what I get for after school camps and winter camp at a different school. My understanding of the 6000 won figure is for "non-teaching" activities. I've never done those so I have no info on them.
