|
|
In the context of a standard hagwan position:
Is it possible to use your frequent flyer miles to get to Korea instead of purchasing a ticket, and still get paid for the equivalent value?
Relatedly, what documentation is usually required for the actual reimbursement?
I couldn't find any answers using the google eslcafe search.
Thank you in advance for your input. |

It has been my experience that you get reimbursed based on the receipt issued when you bought the ticket and conversion on the date they pay you.
Save your miles to use on vacations or you will end up donating them to a Korean school. |

what he said. although you could try negotiating a raise if you opt to use your miles for a flight. |

You might be able to arrange something...but you need the school to agree upon a price BEFOREHAND and stipulate that exact price in your contract. Make it very clear that you are getting $X in lieu of a flight to Korea but that you will still get a flight home at contract's end. |

Save the miles, you might need them to do a 'runner' depending on how horrible your school is.
