 |
|
Is the feeling amongst people that have been here a while. It seems standard now that all the contracts I receive have only 14 days for the year (vs the private school's 10). I have heard many people saying that a couple of years ago they were receiving 2 weeks in both winter and summer.
Any thoughts? |

it was standard in 2002 for hagwons to give one week in summer and one week in winter, and it's the standard today, unless there's change a brewing
anyone who has had more than that has it better than average |

By private schools I assume you meant hakwon (and not a private grade school). 10 days is pretty standard (and what was required as a minimum by law).
Public schools:
14 WORKING days is 1 work day short of 3 weeks and is the standard.
If you are in a rural designated school you get an additional 5 working days = 4 weeks total paid vacation.
IF you renew you get an additional 2 calendar weeks.
This brings the total to somewhere between 5 and 6 weeks of contracted vacation + extra days off for special days.

You teach in a hagwon? Expect a hogwan to cheat you even before you sign the contract.

Note the use of the past tense.....
The old law was:
Article 59 (Annual Paid Leave)
(1) An employer shall grant 10 days� leaves with pay to workers who have offered work without an absence throughout a year and 8 days� leaves with pay to those who have registered more than 90 percent of attendance during one year.
and the link to the current law:
Article 60
(1) An employer shall grant 15 days� paid leave to worker who has registered more than 80 percent of attendance during one year.
<Amended by Act No. 6974, Sep. 15, 2003>
Article 60
