I am in a rough spot. I get paid on the 25th of February. The money normally doesn't show up until 2-3 business days later. However, the long weekend would make it so that it doesn't get processed until Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm leaving the country on Monday, March 1st (I know, Korean Independence Day).

I tried to get an advance on it so I could send the money myself, but they say they will send the money to my US account. But they'll be doing it when I am out of the country. Although my relationship with my administration is fine (no bad blood, but we aren't particularly close), there is always the slim chance that they refuse to send anything and screw me out of a bunch of money. Since I won't be in the country, I won't have any way to fight it.

Is it common for the school to send it to your account for you after you are gone? If so, has there ever been an instance where they refused to send the money?

Are you on a regular public school contract, like EPIK? If thats the case, you dont really need to worry. If youre working in a public school for a company that provides after school program, start worrying.

I have a 2009 EPIK contract. They provided an after school program, but that was only because they originally scheduled less than the maximum amount of credits under contract.
