| Referring to the part in bold. That's already the way it is but it goes a bit further as well. In order to collect your pension you have to leave not only your school but also Korea. You have to show the pension office your airplane ticket as proof. |
And here I was hoping you would not tell me what I already know. The bolded part you addressed could have said more like, when changing Korean employers the teacher would have the choice to participate or not again.

| Back in the bad old days many hakwon directors would send you a contract via e-mail. You'd read it make changes and sent it back. They'd agree to the changes...then once you got over here, they'd attempt to pressure you into the signing the original contract |
Never had this happen to me but then I do not make changes to a contract. I either accept it or reject it, for if I can't accept the employer's terms there is no point negotiating.

| If pension was voluntary there's probably a good number of directors who would pressure the person who wanted pension into signing a contract that didn't include pension. This would be particularly true if there was another teacher working there who didn't want pension. "Oh John teacher doesn't want pension...why you want pension? Are you bad teacher, not care for students and only money?" |
Good point but I don't think we would ever come to a perfect solution. Even with the law, there are problems with owners not paying.

| Given the number of contracts that don't include pension which I've reviewed in the contract sticky thread |
Yes but every country has its unscrupolous employers |
