Well,...

What bonuses? Perhaps, there should be references to the bonus of learning about labor boards and governmental procedures in a foreign country.

Yes, salaries can vary wildly. They vary widely, too.

WORK HOURS ****
WORK HOURS: Ranked from one star (air-traffic control) to five stars (boss's kid). |
A newly graduated university student from Canada can almost be treated like the "boss's kid?" A well-trained, professional teacher with several years of experience can almost be treated like the "boss's kid?" Who is the boss, Kim Jong-il?

I do agree with most. The norm for hagwons is 30 hours per week. I only work 25, but my contract says 30. Any hours above 25 and the boss pays OT. She is pretty good in that regards.  |

haha. i'm cruisin through my last 4 months here! Ever since kindy graduation (I'm at a hogwon), my hours have been cut down to 21 teaching hours a week.
Although, when I was working closer to 30 hours, it was really nothing to complain about, when you think of working the 8 hour shifts everyday back home! |

Is this on top of a "salary?" Do you have that in your contract, and is that typical or did you get lucky(the OT part)? |

Mr. Guru isn't a teacher. Runs his own business (or something along those lines?)
As for me I do 21*40 minute classes a week. But eight are on Monday and nine on Wednesday, although as of next week they are cutting the two kindy classes from my schedule and replacing them with a 70 minute class on Tuesday. |
