It used to say? So now you signed a new contract that says 400,000? What is the problem then? |
So now they're offering the OP less money. It seems to be a new trend in Korea. |

I not signed anything yet. Never said i did. Not seen the new contract, only that they said they would only be paying 400,000 now because of some law from the Education board.
Once again. I asked if anyone knew anything about this Education Law ... and if they had control over housing allowance payments for schools in Gyeonggi-do.
My current contract (which is due to expire this month) says 450,000. They are paying me only 400,000.
Whilst i appreciate feedback, i wish you would read what i have written. |

If your currently contract says 450K, then that's what you're entitled and your school should fork out. They cannot change anything in the middle of the contract. Your school and/or education office is in violation of labor law. Fight for it if you like. |

Yes.
I just heard back after 2 days of emails that they will pay me what they are supposed to.
Looking forward to the future, i am still interested in knowing more about this Gyeonggi Education Law they are talking about and whether or not it exists, and if it actually effects my school. |

K-PS school has passed a new law of the land that number of FT's will be reduced to 0 in a few years. As well, FT's salary and benefits will be reduced each year.  |

GPOE policy to is allow / allocate 400k per month for housing allowance for foreign staff.
There is no "law" that limits what a school can actually pay for housing or a housing allowance.

Yes it seems odd that there would be a law stipulating how much allowance a school could offer for accommodation. But this is Korea. It would not surprise me.
Furthermore since the School is a Private High School, why would they be forced to follow a pay scale/allowance of the education board.
That said, the school has to do certain things which seem odd to fulfil certain requirements. Thats why i cant dismiss this 'reason' (Gyeonggi Education Law) out of hand. |

Basically, they changed the rules and are expecting them to be retroactive. Sometimes, they do try to pull this crap here. Up to you whether you want to fight it or not for a couple of months. Your new contract will prob reflect differently. Don't know what they mean by law. Is it a government rule or law that officials must provide housing worth at least 400,000? |

It may be a private high school but they still are under the jurisdiction of the GPOE.
They still get (partial) funding on a per-student basis from the GPOE (the same that a public school would).
If your position (as a NET) is funded in whole or in part by the GPOE then they get 400k from the GPOE towards your housing and the rest has to come from their other budgeted allotments.
If your position was unfunded then someone is trying to save money at your expense.
Either way they are looking at the budgets and trying to cut corners (new budgets are due soon).
