Alright, so it hasn't come to blows yet, but I was wondering how many of you got paid early your last month in Korea?
I fly August 7th but pay day isn't until August 25th. May admin says that it is very difficult to pay me before I leave.
Obviously I want to get paid before I leave korea because I won't be here to collect my money and close my account duhhhh!!!
Anybody else experience this? |

Me: "It's very difficult not to kick your arse if you don't pay me before I leave. So pay up!"

| Why are public schools paying departing teachers into their Korean accounts after they leave? What is so hard about paying on time and paying the final pay on the last day? |

Because the law does not provide the extra clause.
Why would one go through extra trouble if it only brings extra costs, and no benefit on ones side?
You are not the center of the world, and people do not feel like doing "specials" just for you. Live with it, plan for it, deal with it. |

MIGHT have SOMETHING to do with the fact that they contract you ( in MOST cases) to work to the last day of the month.
I always love the people (assuming the OP is one of them) who are given the luxury of banking their vacation days to the end of contract and then complaining if they haven't gotten the money to you at your convenience, when you demand to have it.
Also could have something to do with the fact that many schools do not get the payment to pay you until a certain date either.
So to answer your question, there is NOTHING hard about paying you on the last day, its just that your last day is the LAST DAY of the month.
Now if you are contracted to the 7th then they should have your money to you before you go,
Now they could TRY to get you paid off before you go, but seeing as though this does mess them up they do not have to.
Now would I wan to do exactly what the OP is doing, of course I would and I am going to try to do just that, but I am not going to get into a huff if they don't pay me.
Heck even SMOES standard policy is that you are supposed to work til the end of the full 52 weeks, so they can avoid these particular hassles, because we always want to be special.
And if the school cant guarantee you payment on time, then you shouldnt be buying a flight home if you havent gotten that sorted out yet. |

Depending upon what your contract states, mine claims that my Apartment security, severance pay and last pay can be (and if they want to) sent to my American bank account after my contract is finished.  |

Don't leave Korea until you get paid. After your visa expires, I believe you have a 30 day exit order, which falls within your payday. If they don't pay, which I would guess they are planning on, you can file with the labor board and they'll grant you an extension until your case is resolved.
Also, since this is not happening til August, it is not hard to plan for 3 months ahead of time. |

Well done.
Thus it will happen. |
