DO NOT SIGN THIS CONTRACT
If you want to be a slave for a year putting in 50 plus hours go for it.
RED FLAG 1: low pay for excessive hours
RED FLAG 2: sick days being deducted at 20,000 won an hour 
that would mean if you missed a days work they would
dock you 180,000 won
RED FLAG 3: Non paid mandatory staff meetings. If you have to
attend a meeting it should be paid 
RED FLAG 4: curriculum design? Not without being paid for it!
RED FLAG 5: Preparation and cleaning of the classroom outside
of scheduled times??? 
RED FLAG 6: no regular schedule
Shared housing isnt a red flag it just sucks
RED FLAG 7: withholding 1,000,000 won kiss that cash goodbye.
RED FLAG 8: With the exception of section 13 of this contract, the teacher may voluntarily resign from this contract with 45days written notice. In the event that the ��teacher�� seeks release from this contract before the contracted term of one year, the ��employer�� will deduct 200,000 won for administrative fee from the last month salary in addition to other relevant fees (e.g. airfare, utility expenses and etc.). 200,000 won for administrative fees
Too many grey areas it is a poorly worded contract almost entirely in the employers favor.
My advice get an eleven foot long pole push it away and avoid. |
Agreed. I would never sign this.
It is frought with stuff that says they've been burned by teachers before. And more than one -- probably for good reason.
Run away. |
