 |
|
Not sure if you guys have seen the new hiring package...it's pretty much standard stuff if you're a new teacher. But for those of us that've been here a couple of years, it's not pretty. Particularly the removal of the clause that allowed for part-time work before if your principal approved of it. In essence, it's just like SMOE now where you can't have a part-time job. That's been a kick in the shins...it's the only reason I worked Gepik, I should've just applied to SMOE instead. 
Also, I believe there've been changes to the salary scale at the top...and instead of making 2.5M like I had projected, I'm knocked back down to 2.3M....
Trying to find the good in all of this, but feeling deflated guys...god. I think I made more money at my part-time job at the bookstore in college. Yikes. |

Haven't seen the contract yet.
Where'd you get it? |

Recruiter sent out the new updated contract to me.
It is for the most part the same...but for a few of us out there, the small changes they've made will have a large impact. |

| The 2010 EPIK contract has a few not-so-great changes either - Most notably, the clause about sick days and the fact that you have to get a doctors note every time you're sick, not just for prolonged illnesses. There's also an addition that states that useage of sick days will be considered when the POE/DOE/school is deciding whether or not to renew you. Super. |

Did your bookstore fly you to the other side of the planet and give you a place to live for 1 year?
Either it's like a 6,000 dollar investment or if you accept the security deposit crapola system we got here, then you are being supported with another 5-10,000 dollars you don't have to put up.
I don't see how any bookstore job back where I grew up would come close to what I have here. I might get some deals on books, but other than that, I don't see how you would make more money. |
