Contracts and Legalities in Korea

Signing a contract At Footprints Recruiting our prime parameter when considering schools in Korea to work with is that they offer a positive working environment and a fair market salary. We will do our best to place you in a good school in the area where you want to teach - an extra hundred dollars a month isn’t much when you loathe going to work every day. Over 95% of Footprints teachers have completed, or are in the process of completing their one year contracts.

All teaching contracts in Korea for Footprints Teachers will include the following:

FREE HOUSING: single or shared or a housing allowance stipend
SALARY: 1,900,000 Won (1.9 is the MINIMUM for 30 hours)
FREE AIRFARE: reimbursed on arrival or paid up front by school
ONE MONTH SEVERANCE: you will receive 1 month salary for each year of teaching service - this is mandated by Korean law
