If you are working at a public school, it should be FOURTEEN workdays not ten ( 7 in the summer and 7 in the winter).

You can take them anytime when school is not in session..so whenever your camps (if you have them) are finished you can go.

My high school is giving me a little more, because I asked very nicely. I think the term is groveled.

I'll be taking the month of July.

I think summer vacation is from the 13th to 13th at my public high school. Hagwons are different but if your boss is letting you decide then pick days that are most convenient for you.

19 if you live in the arse end of nowhere.

My contract say 20 work days. 10 work days during summer and remaining in the winter.

I'm sure they will try to say 14 days like other public schools and try to screw me over.

Most hakwons dont let you choose at all. They have pre-set days. If they do let you choose, you only get 5 days at a time, usually, with an annual of 10.

[koon_taung_daeng]

can they include national holidays as part of your vacation? like make you take your 5 days during chosuk and say theres your vacation?

[mrsquirrel]

Doubt it.

I've got a national holiday in the middle of mine and it is letting me take ten straight days rather than 9 days and having to work a random day of the week,

[OiGirl]

I'm taking two months. Seeya!

[oni]

Usually hagwons summer holiday is the last week in July

[Whistleblower]

I think you are entitled to one day off per month or accumulate this during the year, so 6 days off in the summer and 6 in the winter. Please check below:
