So I talked with my boss today and told her the situation exactly as it is.
The funniest part of it all is that she attempted to broker a deal using the things that I�m rightfully entitled to as her consideration and I promptly told her what I thought of that.
Anyway, I�m yet to get it all in writing which is the next step, but I�ll be looking at my deposit money being returned, and I�ll be paid for all the days I�m remaining at the school. However, one thing which my boss has to do is talk to the guy above her regarding the matter of the airfare term.
The only term resembling an airfare term in my original contract:
| Quote: |
| 1.4. If the Employee or Employer wishes to terminate the employment contract prior to the agreed date of expiration, the Employee has to pay a fine of the equivalent of the round trip airfare which the Employer has provided as compensation for the inconvenience which early termination causes both the students and the school. |
I tried explaining for a good 15 minutes how illogical what she was asking sounded. This return air ticket does not exist so how does she expect me to essentially refund what they haven�t paid for; however she then contended that I should reimburse my airfare over here because I will not be completing my contract. Now, it doesn�t expressly say in my contract anything regarding the airfare, but I was just wondering if a legal, or any other kind of substantial, basis existed on the matter of leaving after 6 months of a contract but having to repay your initial airfare into Korea, or is it more of an unwritten code?
Thanks for all the replies! |
