So I'm being required to work an English camp for 3 days during the weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun). School hasn't mentioned about extra pay, i still need to discuss this with them. I leave the 24th (payday) and am pretty sure that the school won't pay me before I leave because I haven't recieved my other overtime yet.

So if the school says it cant pay me before I leave Korea, should I refuse to work the camp? I hate to be a stickler, but weekend work sucks as it is and this being one of my last weekends I really want to enjoy it. What would you do?

What does your contract state? If it says no weekends, then you can refuse...you are at a P.S, right?

And if you haven't received your other OT yet, don't let that slide. I'd be in the office every day asking about it...and "asking" would be putting it mildly (after the first few days).

I think you already know the answer to this little conundrum.
