 |

Quick question: So idealy your school should pay you for around 10 days of leave per year right? But how is this figured out?
At my last job (teaching adults) the days off occured in months that had more that 20 work days in them (like August has 31 days in it, 21 of which are Monday to Friday), so you'd get a random day off. I wasn't paid on those days though, as my pay was based on 120 hours of work.
I'm about to enter a new job and want to get this clarified. How can they figure out how much to pay? 6 hours worth of pay = a day off?
I have a strong suspicion that I won't be able to wangle any extra cash just because some months are longer than others though. Should one get paid for National holidays in the same way? Some legalese terms would be appreciated! |

alabamaman, dude, you could have been a bit more specific! 
But I know of your posts, and know you're on the level and not a poo-slinger like some monkeys on this board, so I read through the 37 pages of that report (okay I did CTRL-F, but still).
So here's the relevant bit:
| Quote: |
Article 59 (Annual Paid Leave)
(1) An employer shall grant 10 days� leaves with pay to workers
who have offered work without an absence throughout a year, and 8
days� leaves with pay to those who have registered more than 90
percent of attendance during one year.
(2) An employer shall grant one day�s paid leave per month
to a worker the number of whose consecutive service years is
less than one year, if the worker has offered work without an
absence throughout a month. <Amended by Act No. 6974, Sep. 15,
2003>
(3) An employer shall grant the leave with pay in accordance
with paragraphs (1) and (2) when requested by a worker, and shall
pay normal wages or average wages for the leave period as provided
for in the rules of employment or other provisions; however, the
period concerned may be altered, if it would be a serious impediment
to the operation of the business to grant a leave(s) with pay at a
time when a worker requests.
(3) In case an employer grants a worker paid leave for the
first one year of his/her service, the number of leave days shall
be 15 including the leave prescribed in Paragraph (2), and if
the worker has already used the leave prescribed in Paragraph
(2), the number of used leave days shall be deducted from the
15 days of leave. <Amended by Act No. 6974, Sep. 15, 2003>

Now I don't have the brains of a lawyer, or I wouldn't be here, so what does this mean then?
Clauses (1) and (2) are both in past tense which concerns me as I haven't worked the year yet. For the sake of the argument though, assuming that that isn't an issue, then a day of leave/month is equal to average cost of one day's work (e.g. 2,000,000 / 20 days = 100,000won).
Does this sound right?
What about national holidays - same 100,000 won per day?
This smells far too good to be true  |
