"In some cases, the Employee may be asked to work on a national holiday also known as a Red Day with the exception of Sunday. As
Avalon English is a private company and is thus legally permitted to conduct business on a Red Days. In such cases the Employee

Fun times....."The Employee is required to attend events held by the Employer including but not limited to orientation, workshops, conferences,
year- end parties, retreats (picnic), academic seminars (as required by the South Korean Ministry of Education).
If such an event is held on a Saturday, it will not be considered as overtime and will not be compensated. "
more fun... but probably won't happen"From the first to the third pay period, 200,000KRW will be deducted from the Employee’s salary (for a total of 600,000 KRW) as a
security deposit. This deposit will cover any unpaid services, bills, damages, and airfare in the event that the Employee fails to pay or
fulfill the employee’s contract. The Employer will hold the full amount of the security deposit until all outstanding fees or bills are paid.
The remaining amount will be returned to the Employee at the end of the contract. If the Employee renews or extends his or her
contract and has already paid the security deposit in full, he or she will not be required to pay the security deposit again."
Wow it seems to only get bigger....(guess others made it so it is needed?
)" failure to clock in or out, or other reasons
the Employee’s monthly salary will be calculated and paid pro rata (daily or hourly). "
Don't clock in? no pay!"The Employee is permitted to decline the housing offered by the employer. In such cases, the Employee is eligible to receive
300,000 KRW a month as housing allowance. To receive the allowance, the Employee must submit a written Housing
Allowance Request at the signing of this contract. "
Wow! 300k? they must have a really shitty place for you...."The Employee has ten (10) working days as paid vacation per year. Up to five (5) consecutive days may be taken at once with
campus director’s approval. Three (3) company-scheduled vacation days are included in these ten (10) days. 2 of the remaining
days are scheduled to extend time off during South Korean holidays"
They will give you time off when everyone else has time off and then no real winter holiday. In the contract now...
"The Employee may use up to five (5) paid sick days per year provided they bring a proper letter"
Super good! you can be sick. "If the Employee renews his or her contract it is the Employee’s responsibility to renew his or her visa. It is the Employee’s
responsibility to gather the appropriate documents needed for his or her visa renewal. Fines or penalties will not be paid or
reimbursed by Avalon English."
Never seen this before so not sure what you would have to do. Always been done for me
"The contract year consists of four seasonal terms with three months in a term. If the Employee submits a written notice of
resignation in the first month of the current term, the Employee must complete the current term he or she is in. If the Employee
submits a written notice of resignation in the second or third month of the current term, the Employee must complete both the
current term and the following seasonal term. Resignations submitted via email are not acceptable. All resignations must be
handwritten or typed and printed out with the Employee’s signature.
"
Pretty sure that is illegal by labor laws.... 30 days is the mandated. Not sure if it can be changed by the contract."The Employee tells others about his or her own employment contract details."
Under termination... sorry you are already fired ;) TLDRWell it is not horrible but kinda standard with all the bullshiz that hagwons put in now days. All depends on the management. Make 100% sure that they are paying into pension and health insurance. AKA call the gov to make sure.
