My school was closed on Monday October 5th for Chuseok.
Technically Oct 5th isn't a national holiday so my school
said they cannot pay me for that day. Can they do that when
I'm on a salary?
Not really sure what to think... |

| i havent heard of public schools doing that. hagwons maybe, but thats pretty low - even for them. they can try, but youre on a monthly salary and you were at work whenever you were scheduled to be there so i would fight it. one line you could use is that the students still paid their monthly fees - did you refund all of them for that one day? if they say yes, ask for proof.....then you can see some sparks fly. |

Good point! Unfortunately I just read in my contract:
4.2. School closing day.
Following the school schedule, there will be some school closing day (not national holiday) will be unpaid vacation, since Employee has a day off.
So I guess they have me there. My salary is paid to me through a company
that plays the middle man between my public school and I. : ( |

| That is the most stupid thing that I have ever heard. If this is a PS just state that this was a day off and the school was not even open so how could I even go to work. I can't think that this is a ps saying this!! Is it? If a Hagwon then all bets are off and this is the crap that you have to deal with. Hagwon's there are only two kinds I have been here for 5years. There are really good and the really bad. The middle road are not in existance. |

It's a public school!!! .. but the company I deal with is ASN international.
I'm finding out more and more horrible information about them. I've only
been working for them since September. |

| How did they calculate the amount to subtract? 1/31? 1/20? Does it stipluate in your contract how many hours per week or month you are supposed to work. |

What about the days when the students have testing? sports days? school picnics or trips? Are those also unpaid vacation for you? That could add up to a lot of days over the course of a school year.
You can be sure that ASN is still being paid....... |

ASN = screwed
Everyone I know who has worked fro ASN has gotten shafted in some way. Be careful and expect problems. |
