HI! I was wondering if EPIK teachers' salaries automatically go up to the next level (ex. from 1 to 1+)? Basically, if a teacher renews again with the school, will the pay increase be automatic, regardless if the teacher deserves it or not, even though he/she was asked to renew?

No. The contract clearly states that pay raises will not be automatic. You'll have to ask for it. If you don't ask don't expect to get it.

Yes. If you're asked to renew it will go up automatically. Make sure to check the correct box on your new contract.

I can only speak with certainty about Gangwon, but the answer is yes, its automatic.

Your example is a bit complicated though. Going from level 1 to level 1+ requires 2 years of service at level 1. But you do get a raise in the 2nd year at level 1. (Its in your contract.)

1st year at level 1: 2.5 mil
2nd year at level 1: 2.6
following year at level 1+: 2.7
