 Posted: Thu Aug 28, 2008 6:07 pm Post subject: GEPIK CONTRACTS FINALLY AMENDED |
 |
|
I've been ranting about this for months on here.
Finally.
Anyone who signs with GEPIK now has holidays bumped from 14 days to 20.
Housing allowance bumped from a measly W300,000 to W400,000.
It's almost like a job now.
To answer the other poster (are GEPIK positions filled), reading the above changes, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Hell no. |

I'm talking contracted vacation days. I had 22 off for winter vacation alone. I'm talking vacation days in your contract man. |

And this isn't retroactive, right? I recall some other amendments that were made a few months ago, requiring us to teach other subject classes if the need arises. They gave me a form to sign agreeing to the new amendments. Wonder if I'll see a similar form this time?  |

Retroactive is not in the Korean vocabulary, unless applied to how much money a foreigner owes a Korean.
No it's for new contracts only.
Wow you signed that crap? Dude they can't amend a contract you've already signed....
I didn't sign it. |

That was for last year's contract. The new clause was included in this year's contract. I may go for GEPIK again next year after all... |

Yeah same. Have 2 months left and I've been offered a re sign. But scared they'll back out at the last minute and hire a Filipino. |
