I'm an American who is at the end of a contract with a public school in Masan. I make 2.2 million won per month and have been told by my employer that my pension will be deposited into the specified American bank account in late March. ( About 2.1 million won according to my employer. ) Does this sound about right?

As for severance: Will I receive this on my last payday as I have at hogwons in the past? Does anyone out there have anything to say regarding public schools and their handling of severance, pension, and airfare? Good? Bad?

Thanks!

You have to go to the pension office and apply for your pension.

go to the pension office.. here's a good info site http://wiki.galbijim.com/Korean_pension_plan

as for the other stuff, i'm trying to get that sorted at my public school too. i know people who have been told to go out and buy their tickets and they'll get reimbursed later, and another who just got the money up front. seems to vary between schools. best to talk to your handler and sort this stuff out now

Your pension refund should be:

2.2 million X 9% X 12 months = 2,376,000

As for the severance, the EPIK office in Seoul informed me that your severance is to be deposited into your home account. But they also told me that it may vary from school to school.

Your pension should be double what you paid into it. Your amount and the amount your boss or school put into. Look at your pay stub or call the pension office. They can tell you how much is in the account.
