 |
|
Im currently working for GEPIK. I want out! However , I have this feeling that if i quit , the school will not give me a letter of release.
At the 2007 ( in May ) GEPIK CONFERENCE , WENISE KIM ,said " as long as a teacher gives the two months notice , GEPIK will give them a letter of release"
Are there any teachers who were denied the LETTER OF RELEASE , even thought they gave their school a two months notice?
Does anyone have WENISE KIM'S EMAIL ADDRESS? |

I don't know about that, but I think she is the only coordinator GEPIK has right now. At least you'll get an accurate answer, I hope.  |

i ve had a hard time with this school. They seem to think I m very spoiled
and I should have to come in on Saturdays , like the rest of the teachers.When it benefits them ,we go by the contract. When it benefits them , the contract should be modified and I should follow it. |

tell them you'll come in on saturdays, like the rest of the teachers, if you get as much vacation time as the rest of the teachers |

GEPIK's ultimate goal is to have the expats work more then the K -teacher while keeping whitie's wages lower then the Kims.
Even if I did work on Saturdays , I don't think they would give me the full vacation.
I have heard that their is alot of resentment amoung the K teachers cause we dont work the Saturday. |

GEPIK can "encourage" a public school to give you a letter of release, but because you want out of GEPIK (and because Wenise Kim left), you probably won't get a letter of release. I have heard many situations from those that I know that Dain Bae is not helpful in this regard.
You are legally entitled to a certificate of employment (and you get to specify which of certain things you want to go in it -- check the labor law for your options of what to include). |
