Yes, I did and I saw the memo for this round of (July-Aug) summer English camps put on by the POE, and we will get paid again.

Where? If you read my previous posts, you can easily figure out what province I am talking about.

If your goal is to get paid for camps, that is not a good enough reason to come here, but that's my opinion. Go to Seoul. The big money is in the big cities.

You work at the Yangjeong office? Then you don't work at a school then.

Anyway, either you are lying or my school is lying, but I was told the contract is going to be followed to the word this year, mainly because of the large number of new teachers.

Anyway, good luck.

I wasn't in Busan, but I suspected my school of lying about things and telling me it was province-wide as a justification. Of course if you call the head office, they will back up your school on whatever weasel move they're trying to pull. In my case, the school was trying to change the contract ("sign this paycut amendment! everyone's contract is changing! really! of course once you meet other local people in EPIK and ask them about this and they have no idea what you are talking about, you may begin to suspect but we don't care about looking like shady lying jerks anyway!") so even after I got no help from head office I still refused to budge.
