i have been working for a hagwon for many years and have not had any financial problems. my contract (in english) reads that anything over 5 hours per day is overtime.
i have some coworkers with the same contract, but they work at two different locations. the problem that has occured is that my coworkers will work over 5 hours in one location one day and then work under 5 hours at another location another day. my boss is now trying to say he's not going to pay the overtime for the 5+ hour days.
i'm curious what can my coworkers do to make sure they are adequately compensated per their contract.
also is there a korean law for foreign teachers that says what is considered overtime in a single day?
any and all knowledgable help would be great!
Re: Hours per day overtime?
What does the contract say about overtime?
Some say you will work 30 (or whatever) hours a week. So the total of the hours over the week determin overtime. 4+6+5+5+5 = 30 + no overtime.
Others say 120 hours a month. So add up all the hours over a month and subtract 120, thats your monthly overtime.
If your contract says 5 hours a day, then anything over 5 hours is overtime pay.
Re: Hours per day overtime?
i've been talking to a few people, and some think there is a law that says that anything over 6hrs (of class time) for a foreign teacher is considered overtime. does anyone know if this is true?
