I am trying to build up some good will with my school at the moment as I want some extra vacation over christmas. I got a five day weekend last week because of doing some stuff for the school. It's all give and take. |

Offically it's only 2 weeks but the vacations I only work half a day. Unoffically there are plenty of oppourtunties for extra bits of time off if you build up a good relationship. |

*yawn* Been there, done that. When winter vacation comes, the school will be quiet alright. Hell, I had trouble getting HEAT in the room, let alone noise.
Only 2 weeks off in the winter? That's not very much... |

If I renew with EPIK this year, I might get up to 5 weeks off in the summer, but that has jack to do with kind of relationship I have with my school...
crazylemongirl, your situation sounds below average in regards to vacation time and work hours compared to other people I have spoken to in the EPIK program...then again, your working for your school individually and not through the EPIK program, right? |
Yeah I'm not with the EPIK programme. However looking at salaries I make more than I would in EPIK so it balances out. |

| there are hidden incentives in epik depending upon where you are (ie. supplementary classes, special teacher and student training)........with the base of 2.3 this year i will make an additional 4.5 million to 5 million depending if i want to work or not......... |
