 |
|
| Due to personal and family problems, I put in 60 days notice with my school. My last day was set for 12/27/09, but the family problems have gotten worse and I need to be at home sooner. I would like to leave 11/27/09, which is exactly 30 days. What can I do now that the previous resignation is on file? If I had know in Oct. that this situation would get so worse so quickly, I would have done 30 days. I wanted to leave at the winter break so there would be less disruption. Any advice? I don't want to just pull a runner, as I want my co-teacher to write me a letter of recommendation, but I am worried about staying longer. I really need to get home, but want to do the right thing. |

Give them the option to do the right thing (allow you to leave in 30).
If they don't, split now.
The right thing is to be with your family. |

What does your contract say with regard to the 'Resignation' article?
If it says "60 days", explain... and throw yourself on your principal's mercy.
If it says "30 days", explain you have fulfilled the terms... but unfortunately you will be leaving earlier than first thought. |

| Korean law states 30 days notice. Leave after 30. |

You know not what of you speak.
Korean law - the Labor Standards Act - states an employer is required to give an employee 30 days advance notice of dismissal (or pay in liew). It does not address resignation - strictly a contractual matter. |

It says 60, so should I just run? I don't want to do my co-teacher dirty, but she is not as importat as my family,and neither is a contract. |

My contract says I can give 60 days notice, but no less than 30.
Check your contracts fine print, and if that doesn't work, just bail man. |

| It sounds like you already know the answer. Your family comes first. You have to do what you have to do. Just try to leave with as little collateral damage as possible. Good luck with your family situation. |

Hell no... don't run.
Talk to your principal and explain... Koreans understand family obligations. Unless he dislikes you for some reason, he will tell you to go with his blessing. If he doesn't... then you flip K-land 'the bird' and run. |
