there seems to be 2 ways to read this can someone enlightne me?
Paragraph 6 - Salary
6-2 The first pay period shall start commence upon the completion of 25 days from the first working day and next salary shall be payable in two weeks (bi-weekly) from the previous payday during the term of the agreement.
a) My first pay period starts after 25 days, i.e. I work for free for the first 25 days and I start getting paid from then on.
b) My first pay is banked after 25 days and every 2 weeks thereafter.
Which is it??

It sounds like b, especially since they say the NEXT salary shall be payable bi-weekly. When is the previous salary paid if not after the first 25 days? Bi-weekly is pretty rare in Korea to start with.
If you're skeptical, change period to day and send the contract back with the change noted. |

| Yeah, it's b. It's worded wrong, though -- and you ask them to fix it -- but either way, you won't be working for free for the first 25 days. |

Thanks...
I thought I remembered reading something on this board a few months ago about some contract quirk that essentially meant teachers did some free days in the year; thought this might be it. Thanks for putting my mind at rest. |

ask for clarification.
I've heard the term "payperiod" used for payDAY |
