I realise there is a contract thread but it sometimes doesn't get noticed sometimes. In a bit of a hurry so would appreciate if anyone could take a look at this part time job I might be doing (YES, I have an F2 visa)

the holes I see, are the no mentioning of tax rate, hours, days of work which I will get fixed. also the half pay for quitting within 6 months. Anything else? thanks

I never visit the contract sticky. Never think of it. But the mod will lock this thread soon enough.

A contract with no hours is kinda foolish.

Is this a part time job on top of a regular full time gig? If so, I believe you'll need the original E2 sponsor's permission to add it to your ARC. (is that correct, teachers?)

Contracts do not mean much in this kinda school. It sounds like a CDI, or a copycat. You'll have to feel out the school, the co-workers, and the meetings to see if it is for you.

Sounds good though, I guess. 50K/hr! wow. Some E-2's don't think that's possible in Korea, lol. At least the dumber ones. They're the reasons wages are so low. I told an E-2 about a 50K/hr job and they couldn't believe it, like I was making this crap up. Kept asking and asking and asking....anyway. She's happy at 12,500. Couldn't believe an F could get 50K/hr for 5 hours in a row in one day while her crappy hagwon pays 12K/hr for E-2s and 25/K for FT Fs!!!! Couldn't understand that an F can get 50/hr even in a 5 hour block and that is cheap! Then, when the F visa said, ok, 30K is ok and he'll find an illegal for the 10K to work the rest of the time, she still couldn't believe the gall of the F visa! The nerve! The guy wants market price. Never mind that an F can easily secure a one on one for 40-50. So, why go to some crap hagwon in BF for 30K and teach 12 kids? When he/she gets more doing a one on one?

Needless to say, the F in question is about pissed off and about to forget about the PT crapwon as well as the trouble of setting up an illegal to help the school. He's a crap arse for even trying. What a piece of crap. He should just do 40 hours at the crapwon for 10K/hour.

Someone should call immigration on his sorry arse. Probably married to a korean who can't even speak fluent english, the basatrrd. So much for helping people out. It's not worth it in the end, is it?
