Hello,

I am a new instructor for the Chungcheonnam-Do E.P.I.K. Programme and I'm wondering if any of the experienced employees of it would post its Pay Period - i.e., the first and last day of each one.

Thanks in advance.

You get paid on the 25th of each month. I think that's what you're asking??

Thanks for the reply.

Does this mean, then, that the monthly salary cycle is from the 25th of a month to the 24th of the next month? My contract says nothing with regard to this query, the District Co-Ordinator wouldn't or couldn't answer this question, and co-teacher can not understand the question.

On the other hand, the recruiter swore to me that the pay period is from the first day of the month to the last day of it. Then again, she just told me that she has to call the District Office to ask them.

Is this particular branch of E.P.I.K. worse than the others?

Thanks!

Oooooh. I see. Your recruiter is right, at least that's how it worked when I worked for EPIK in Chungnam two years ago. Paid on the 25th for the whole month.

Sophie from Bu-Yeo Eup just informed me that all teachers have a pay period of the 25th day of one month to the 24th day of the next month. If she's right, then this means that the pay period has been changed since you worked in this province.

Thanks.
