I'm at a public school.

I have about three weeks left on my contract. Just seems like I should be given some forms to sign to start processing the severance. (I know they have, what, 14 days after my contract to pay it, but just thought it takes a while to process.)

End of my first year, I think I signed the paperwork about a week or so before the contract completed, but I was renewing my contract and I trusted that administration.

This time, I am not renewing and (if you�ve read another thread of mine, you know already) this administration tried to jack my paid leave last winter, so I don�t quite trust them.

My handler keeps asking me to provide my plane ticket so he can process reimbursement for that. I keep telling him that it�s not certain that I�ll leaving Korea within 10 days of completing my contract. I remind him that the severance (and pension, if I don�t end up staying) paperwork is more a priority. So far, no paperwork.

Anyway, still about three weeks left, but just wondering when I�m supposed to sign the paperwork.

Thanks.

Well, either you will leave Korea or you won't. That's why the school wants to see your plane ticket before they process severance. If you go to another school, then you don't usually collect severance. Basically, they are asking and waiting for you to make a decision.

Do you want to stay or go?

sorry, I misread. I'll leave the post so people understand the confusion.

What I was trying to get at was the school might want to know about flight and severance together. My school paid both together. So, even though you are entitled to severance, they want to know how to pay you it probably.

make a list of what you're expected to get before ETS and present it to your assistant and discuss about it.

most importantly, make sure your assistant provides you with when and how your money will be paid.
