Im an F2 visa holder having payment problems. I started a job on an After School Program 3 months ago. The problem is is I am not being paid in full nor am I being paid on time. My first paycheck was ok. The second month's paycheck, I had to call the boss and ask him where was my money. He put it in the bank late on the evening of payday, but with a 10% deduction. I asked him about this and he said he would return it at the end of my contract. He said it was 'savings for me'. I was not happy with this, and by the way this 10% deduction is not in my contract. Yesterday was my payday, no sign of any of it. I checked my account through the evening but no. I got in touch with him this morning and he wanted me to sign a contract to over-ride the original one. He lodged my wages eventually today. However I was 700,000WON short. He says this is because my teaching wasnt up to scratch. What should I do? Should I resign on the spot or should I give a month's notice? If I'm getting paid for work why should I carry on there for another. I am quitting but whats the best way. I will be going to the Labor Court.

what would you do if someone was stealing money of you back home??

Do it to him too!!

Tell him that you're go to the labor board if you don't get paid in full. After you get paid, THEN resign. You might have a better chance of getting paid that way.

Holy crap! Too bad there are always chances of that and other things of that nature in this industry. In this neck of the woods.

Can't be denied.

I wonder if you compared Korea to hmm... let's say Canada or America, if this kind of thing is as ubiquitous. Percentage-wise or otherwise.

Maybe not.

Therefore, perhaps networking will solve this.
