Are GEPIK contracts negotiable?

I got one from a recruiter and was wondering if its pretty much set in stone.

I'm assuming that the majority of contracts in the "review my contract" sticky are for Hagwons right?

All contracts are negotiable. Start there. In my case, even though they wouldn't modify the contract, they added a second contract. I just wanted to get paid more, but they weren't willing to put that in the first contract.

I wasn't sure about it, and I thought maybe they would not pay me. However, they have paid me the extra amount agreed on for 9 months now.

So, I suggest getting a second contract written up if they aren't willing to modify the first. Make sure the second doesn't replace the first. If you want to make it an amendment, that might give you a stronger legal position.
