I am curious to see how things have changed since the OP... 3 years ago, that might have seemed better, but not nowadays.

Here is my deal:
2.9 for 12 hours/week over three days, 20 wks off between semesters with no requirements or duties.
Breakdown:
- 1,044,000 Basic Salary (����)
- 1,562,000 "Support Payment" (����������: not entirely sure what that means)
- 31,200 "Night Transportation Fee" (�߰������: again, not sure)
- 300,000 Housing support (but I live in my own house)
Total: 2,937,000
Deductions (tax, etc.) 208,800
Take Home: 2,728,000

NO overtime this semester but usually if there is, it comes to about 300,000 won / 2hr class. Our contracts are the same as a Korean professor's, including pay scale. With an M.A. (no PhD) our salaries cap at level 15. We go up one level each year and I started at level 25 (we made the contract switch last year after working here for two years - big increase). One pay level seems to be about 150,000 / month.

What do others have? It is good to keep things in the open this way so we all know what is crap and what isn't.
