How much is typical overtime pay at a university?

Thanks.

[MeanyMichi]

For regular classes?
Around 10,000 won.

For extra classes anywhere between 20,000 and 50,000.

Twenty thousand at mine.

20,000 where I work, but my last school was 30,000 and I have a friend working at Korea University where they get either around 35,000 or 50,000 depending on the department.

Oh, does your univ. force a few hours of overtime on you? Or do you have a choice? Have any universities been known to force a lot of OT on a teacher?

Thanks for your answers.

I'm forced to teach 2 hours a week at 10,000 per hour OT.

Other OT at higher rates is sometimes offered, sometimes "strongly encouraged"

I get 30 or 40 000 per class (45 min). Voluntary, but its dodgy.

Can't remember if it's 15 or 20 thousand per hour...but we get a ridiculous amount of paid vacation. I won't be going back to work until early March.

It really depends on the university as it varies a lot. Some schools pay as much as 50,000 an hour.

Last I checked, Pusan National University (one of the top schools in Korea) pays 6,000 an hour!

65,000 Won and 3 weeks vacation/hour.

How much do they typically pay (legal) part-time teachers?
