Is there a legal issue in terms of contracts/labor issues that had to do with hagwons that have less than a certain number (I want to say 5-6) employees? Some reason to be wary of schools that small?

Or did I imagine that?

No, you didn't imagine it. The Korean Labor Standards Act states -

"Article 10 (Scope of Application)
(1) This Act shall apply to all businesses or workplaces in which more than 5 workers are ordinarily employed."

Thank you! That is as I thought. Important to remember.

Surely that doesn't mean that small businesses can disregard the entire labour act though? I know I'm being lazy, but are there separate labour laws in place for small businesses?

Hmm, good question. What about businesses where the boss runs the show, and hires one guy to come and do his tax returns once a month or whatever?
