 |
|
Our school says they can't hire new teachers for a year because they were fined for having an illegal teacher.
This doesn't make any sense. Isn't that policy forcing the school to hire more illegal teachers or close? Anyone have any information about this? |

This sort of thing does happen.
The first school I worked for in Korea tried an 11th month firing with me. After taking them to court and getting them busted for tax evasion and lieing to immigration about my case they fined them a combined total of 20 million won and had a ban placed on them by immigration from hiring any new foreign teachers for 6 months so they couldn't replace me.
When there's a ban on a school from hiring new foreign teachers, immigration keeps a close eye on them so they can't hire illegal teachers. I know as my first school got caught with an illegal they hired to replace me and had another 6 month ban placed on them. So they ended up with a 12 month ban in total.
The only thing that kept them from going under was the fact that they had 4 other foreign teachers who ended up being lumped with a shit load of forced overtime to cover being short one foreign teacher. Luckily for them they had all just been hired so they were there for most of the banning period. |

That explains why some schools don't want to hire legal workers.... They are probably under ban.... that's a bad sign to begin with... |

Immigration and MoE can stop you from hiring new teachers, but they only do that after a second warning, the third warning you loose your business. |
