 |

| If I re-sign with SMOE for March 2013 but something happens that means I need to leave Korea before my new contract starts are there penalties, financially, for this? |

| Not likely. You won't get 13th month pay, but get the severance. Return flight, they'll wiggle out. You'll get your pension. If you leave during Jan-Feb months, they won't even notice that you're gone. By then, the new president will be in power, and a new policy in ESL Korea. |

thanks for the reply. 
i wasn't thinking of actually leaving while still under contract. just that there might be a chance i will have to cancel my renewal and leave on March 1st at the end of my current contract rather than starting my second year. |

| Just give them an official letter of withdrawal from contract renewal. You should give them approximately two (2) weeks notice in advance so that they can recruit a new teacher. Also, they would need about that much time to prepare your final pay, airfare, severance, etc. Good luck. |
