Wrong, they just starting requiring an MA. "- Master�s degree and 2 years of teaching experience are required "
I'm sorry, but if you have an MA you can do MUCH better. A whopping 5 weeks vacation and not in Seoul? NO THANKS! |

Article 34 (Severance Pay System)
(1) An employer shall establish a severance pay system whereby an average wage of more than 30 days shall be paid for each year of consecutive years employed as a severance pay to a retired worker; however, if the worker was employed for less than one year, this shall not apply.
(2) In establishing the severance pay system stipulated in paragraph (1), a differential severance pay system shall not be permitted within one business.
(3) An employer may, at the request of workers, pay severance pay in advance for the period of continuous employment of the worker concerned by adjusting the balances of remunerations before his retirement, irrespective of the provisions of paragraph (1). In this case, the number of years of continuous employment for the computation of severance pay shall be counted anew from the moment the latest adjustment of balances has been made.
(4) In cases where an employer has enrolled in pension insurance program for retirees or a retirement lump sum payment trust as prescribed by the Presidential Decree (hereinafter referred to as �pension insurance, etc.�) for workers, whereby workers, as the insured or a beneficiary, receive lump sum payment at the time of retirement, or draw their pensions, it shall be deemed that the employer has set up a severance pay scheme in accordance with paragraph (1). The amount of lump sum by the retirement insurance, etc., however, shall not be smaller than that of severance pay pursuant to paragraph (1). <Amended by Act No. 5473, Dec. 24, 1997>

I've known many teachers who have worked for Woosong over the years, and it still puzzles me how they continually don't give teachers any severance for their first year of employment. For an organisation that employs so many foreign teachers, it's amazing that they still violate Korean labour law for so many years:
Article 34 (Severance Pay System)
(1) An employer shall establish a severance pay system whereby an average wage of more than 30 days shall be paid for each year of consecutive years employed as a severance pay to a retired worker; however, if the worker was employed for less than one year, this shall not apply.

If you teach less than 15 hours / week at a uni. - they don't have to pay severance. (and your hours/week are calculated over a longer period than you would think, so most uni jobs don't come with severance).

| According to the job posting that was linked the job requires 20 hours per week and offers 5 weeks vacation. I can't imagine this fits within a threshold to not pay severance, if whats posted above is accurate. |

| Aren't private universities exempt from paying severance? They just have to pay pension I heard. Is Woosong a private university? |
