What is scarier is that nobody caught on to this. Since when is Toronto the capital?

I got 600,000 because I'm signing on again. I was also given 400,000 because my first 5 months of pension were not contributed towards. And I got an 100,000 raise.

I didn't get the money yet, but I definitely brought up the plane ticket thing. He seems to think that plane ticket is 700,000 Won. I'm from Fredericton, NB. The cheapest one I found was 1.6 million. I however, didn't do a lot of searching. I asked hime where this 700 bucks took me and he said, "Toronto and you're capital". I showed him on a map where these cities are and told him that it's very expensive to fly to my home from these places I told him "Fark it. Just give me 50,000 more a month next contract and that'll total 600,000." At the same time, I brought up a billion things because he said something about saying "Shut up!" to my students. I only paid pension on the last 7 months, taxes are less than that, etc.


I wouldn't want to go back to Fredericton either Wink

I talked ot the labour board about this a while back, and it really depends on the wording in your contract. In 99% of cases they said, the school doesn't have to give you cash in lieu of a ticket.

Well..if the clause is not in your contract...you may be out of luck with that cash request....

... but, if you are re-signing you can get cash. You just say, "Well, ok I'll take the ticket instead (and you can fly another teacher here). How about you give me this instead of paying all that for a ticket". 1 + 1 = 2.
