 |
|
| Went to immi today to apply for an additional workplace. unfortunately I forgot my schedules from each place. The guy asked me to come back and wrote a little note on it saying what i need but also that i cant work more than a third of the hours in my regular job. I work 12 teaching hours a week. My new job is 5. does this mean i definitely can't do it or can I count office hours? |

Work hours... not teaching hours...
office hours are work hours. |

This is the first time I have seen a person asked to show their schedule/s. Immigration doesn't know that a hagwon's schedule typically changes week by week and often new schedules are made the night before? 
The solution to say it is office hours skirts the issue, you might as well have the second school write up a schedule which shows 33% or less. There is no way 2 office hours to teach 3 classes makes sense where you might have a full-time job teaching about 20 or more classes with just 1 hour.
I would play it safe and just have the schools work with you by putting the hours necessary to get the stamp. Someone at immigration will realize requesting schedules is an absurd requirement. |

mmm yea the problem is that my uni has already approved the contract for 5 hours. I could just write 'office hours' on my university schedule I guess but they aren't officially written on there.
this rule seems really dumb when it comes to uni workers. 1/3 of our hours is not a lot. |

I don't know what that means. Are you saying your other full-time job has less than 15 hours?
Also, does immigration want to see the contract or just a schedule? |

my uni schedule has me teaching 12 hours. the part time contract that they signed off on says 5 hours. so yea , 5 is more than a 3rd of my uni schedule. I'm wondering if i can just mark in office hours on to the schedule manually. Im spending 20 hours there including office time right now. |

I think you could show a schedule of 4 classes instead of 5. It's the least the second school could do. If you go the other way and try to show more hours with the first school, how do they determine things like taxes?
It is probably safer to show less hours in the long run. They would need to have someone sit through your classes to get to the 5th class. If they (whoever they are) came to your school to check up on you, how would they know if you were teaching your first or fifth class? How would they know if your schedule was changed? Do you have to give them updated schedules? I highly doubt it.
However, if you claim you work more hours, they might want tax info related to this. |

I'm contracted to teach a maximum of 16 hours but its usually 12. Taxes are based on monthly pay. Schedule doesn't effect it as we never have more than 15 hours.
I do office hours but they are not on the schedule unless I manually write them on. I'm wondering if I can write them in and if that will do for immigration. |
