hi there
hope you get this in time, need advice about hogwon

ok so i am contracted for 30 hours, hence i do 30 classes.
our hogwon had recently hired another foreign teacher(as i was the only one there and there were 8 more classes which needed to be taught.
However she has now left, so they have 8 classes which i now have to do. But what they have done is added these classes to some of my other classes i teach. So i teach at the same time, but some classes i have to teach two classes mixed.
They were paying her 40,000 won per class( 8x40,00=320,000). so there now saving 320,000 won by making me teach two classes in one slot. Do you think i should say something. Like ask for more money even though i am still doing same hours yet saving them money. Please i need advice.
sorry about this just happened today

Unless your contract specifies class sizes, I think you're up *beep* creek. Even so, that would probably be a very vague clause.

If there were some sort of unwritten agreement as to class sizes though, I'd be aksing for more cash. Either that or the students aren't going to get a very good education. There's only so much you can do with whatever your class sizes are now. What are they? 20? 30 students? If so, not good.
