| hello all. i'm a newbie to this forum. so i'm gonigto get right to it! my situation is i'm finishing off a contract with my school here in korea. i'm not going to give to many details on where, anyhow i was introduced to the school through a friend after a sequence of bad events and in good faith entered a contract and did a visa run etc with them. however, this is the part that may confuse you all as it has confused anyone that i've told about it so far. i started my contract with the school (from august of last year) doing part-time work on the premise that there would be full-time work in september following. however this was delayed until january of which i worked with a visa at which time i was told to sign another contract 'the real contract' with the school from january of this year. which maybe to my stupidity i did. let me also say that i did my visa run etc with no expense to my school maybe again to my stupidity. anyhow afterall of this my contract that i had signed in august last year of course ended and had to be renewed also! hence signing a third! contract with the school, so my question to the forum after all of this is. 'which of the contracts is the 'offically legal' contract and which of the contracts should i adhere to? i just feel so stupid over all of this at this stage and really let down by the school here and by esl teaching in korea in general! help please ! ... |

Usually the LAST one that you signed is the one that is in effect.
When there are subsequent contracts that follow the initial contract there is usually a clause that indicates that the current contract is the one that is binding and superceeds any preceeding ones.
If such a clause does NOT exist then the one that has the latest completion date will usually be the one on file at immigration and the one that you be considered to be under.
Sorry, but that is the best advice I can give on such limited information. |
