so its about 3pm on payday, and SMOE havent paid me yet. i know it could happen in the next 2 hours. but i really need the money, my xmas is screwed without it. ive called and text my co worker, not sure what she can do really. the school is of course closed down for the winter vacation. anyone know what i can do. or anybody else in a similar situation.

I'm in the same boat but im deskwarming today and co-teach said it would be in this afternoon ,

Hope it works out for you !

Your grammar is atrocious.

If I'm not mistaken, I thought it was the school accountant who transfers the money into your account, not SMOE. If you contacted your co-teacher, it shouldn't be that difficult to correct. I had mine before noon today, so the school should have the funds. I hope it works out for you.

Hmmmm, I work for SMOE and something fishy is going on with my account as well. On the 16th I had 218,000 won in it and didn't touch it until last night (23rd) when I withdrew 30,000 from an ATM. When I did that, my balance was listed as 1,045,074... wtf? I thought perhaps, in true SMOE form, I had been compensated separately for my after-school classes and no one informed me of the fact. Then today, my pay slip says 1,969,450 net - but then when I went to withdraw another 100,000 from an ATM, only 944,074 as the balance. Either SMOE paid me early and the utility companies robbed me, or I got a deposit without any paper work and haven't been given my regular salary yet. Sigh. Merry Christmas.

Yes, pay if from your school accountant/admin, not SMOE. I got mine

[kinerry]

If they don't pay you, you contact the police. They deal with the problem specifically and make sure you get paid.

Check out the website for more info.

Don't you have to miss 2 months pay before anyone will lift a finger to help you? That's the way it used to be.
