That's the entire contract! Just a few things that come to mind are:

Pension. Terms of termination by employer. Severnence. Return plane ticket. The contract should be in English AND Korean.

I've got class now. Don't sign this contract as is.

This thread should go in the contract sticky...

If certain rulings are not in the contract, there is still the labor law that counts.

[espoir]

10 vacation days blows. Standard for that many years should be at least 18 days.

Also no mention of sick days.

And what if you want to find your own apartment, since they will set you up in a shit hole most likely. There should eb a clause in their about how much they would be willing to pay a month and in key money if you want to find your own place.

and yea pension, return ticket, visa run(or flight over ticket) and health care need to be included as well.
