I have two signed contracts with different dates. One that I signed with Gyeongsangnam-do with an expiration date of Nov. 3rd, and the other with the school I teach at with an expiration date of Nov. 8th. Which one takes precedence?

I am asking this because I would like to leave on the 3rd, but the school says I can not receive severance pay if I leave before Nov. 8th. Yes I started teaching on the 8th, however.

My gut feeling tells me that the 2nd contract probably cancels out the first one, but I just want to make sure?

I will have to do a run to immigration office as well.

Which one sticks: the signed contract with Gyeongsangnam-do, or the one with the school?

None of the above.

Contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on in Korea.

Your contract should expire one year after you begin teaching, not the date that you actually sign a contract. If you begin Nov 8th 2009, Nov. 7th 1020 is 365 days.
