|
|
I was supposed to get paid on the 11th of this month, but it was Chuseok, so that didn't happen. No problem for me because I was alright on money. I expected to get paid by Monday, but that didn't happen either. I talked to the head teacher (my boss speaks no English and is a frosty *b e e p*) and she asked the boss. I got no reply from her. Ever since then all the teachers have been avoiding my questions about my pay.
I asked again today and one of the techers said that the boss might not have enough money to pay me. I don't know if I believe this because the hagwan just got a new computer and a bunch of new supplies.
Has this ever happened to anyone? (Probably a stupid question) Any advice as to what i should do? Im two months away from being done, and I really want that bonus...maybe thats why shes not paying me... |

I think you should post about it on the Internet. That, and not go to work until you have cash in hand. But that posting of it on the Internet is the glue that holds everything together. |

You seem pretty attached to the internet yourself there, Gord. But then I suppose you've never had a question about anything before. |

The Internet is the answer to everything. |

Something personal about Gord there, Corp?
Seems childish to me and irrelevant to this thread.
Anyway, this is another thread about unpaid wages. How many of these are we going to have?
C'mon people. You've read them all.
*I'm in sucky mood. Sorry for the rant*

So, probably he had plans with his family and couldn't get away.
Show some latitude.

I know, I did a quick search and came up with hundreds of results...didn't feel like wading through all of them. |

Yep, WTF, I understand your wanting to rant too.
That's apparently happens on this board more times than once.

You made the first mistake; working for a school and the owner does not speak English! Secondly, no one can use you unless you let them. The owner KNOWS she owes you money and she is BETTING that you will be a wimp about it. I'd confront her, no English or not. She'll know what you're talking about! Point out the new computer! Hey, she's rude to you by not paying! Why take it?!? |
