I recently just moved from hagwon to public school and in order to make about 100,000won more my new school needed paperwork from the education board. Long story short my hagwon boss never submitted my file to the education board on purpose. And she won't do it know because she doesn't want to get in trouble. Can I do anything about this?

your post is somewhat unclear but are you saying you need proof of one year's employment prior to ps? is this what you need?

don't know why that would be a problem for your former hakwon director -

anyway, you should be able to verify it by other means, such as your visa in your passport.

what exactly do you need and what are you being told?

Sorry about that, what I'm saying is that my new school offered me more money as long as I could get a work certificate from the board of education basically proving I worked for a year in my other city. Well my old boss is supposed to get this information for me, but we noticed she never did and it turns out she told me and my recruiter and my new boss she never sent in my paper work to them in the first place. This is illegal. If she were to file paper work now so that I could get some proof she will be in trouble. So she will not file with the paper work. I'm wondering if there is a way I can ry to file myself I don't care if it gets her in trouble because it would be her fault for not doing it in the first place. Do you understand/ Am I more clear on what I was saying the first time?

File a complaint with the labor board that you ex-boss is in violation of article 39 / 40 of the labor standards act (won't provide a certificate of employment (it doesn't come from the education office)).

You should get one quick enough.

Article 39 (Certificate of Employment)
(1) If a worker makes a request to issue a certificate
specifying term of employment, job specification, title and wages
or other necessary information even after the retirement of the
worker, the employer shall immediately prepare and issue the
factually correct certificate.
(2) The certificate referred to in paragraph (1) shall only
contain the items that the worker concerned has requested.
Article 40 (Prohibition of Interference with Employment)
No one shall prepare and use secret signs or lists, or have
communication for the purpose of interfering with employment
of a worker.

Thanks I will definitely look into that and give them a call.

Also consider doing some of the leg work yourself if possible. There are old threads about Certificate of Employments. Try to make on yourself. Put in the relevant information that you can. Walk it on over the ex boss. Ask her to sign and stamp it. Go away submit.

If you make things easy for people, the easier things will get done.
