hi all,

if any of the forum experts can please advise,

is prep time usually included in the hourly rate.

for example if i was offered a part time job of 1 hour per day at 40,000 won...does that usually mean a class time of between 40-50minuties plus 10-20 minutes prep time?

or will they only pay me a percentage of the 40,000 won for the actual class time only?

thanks for any answers...

Just to add in, because of the times you listed -- most places that hire you for a 40 or 50 minute class at 40k an hour would pay you 40k for that 40-50 minutes (a "teaching hour" or "class hour"). Some places may not, and as Ttom said, check your contract -- a "teaching hour" is often defined there (at least, it always has been on each contract I have had in Korea...though I am E2, not an F-series).
