Pay and hours

Salary
₩2,800,000 / month
This is an employment contract, so Korea's 2026 statutory minimum wage of ₩10,320/hour (₩2,156,880/month on the official 209-hour basis) applies to it. See salary data across all live listings.
Teaching hours
Not stated
Actual classroom hours. Full-time hagwon roles in Korea typically run 22–30 per week.
Time on site
45 hours a week
Hours you must be at the workplace, including prep and gaps between classes.
Split shift
Not stated
A morning-and-evening schedule with a long unpaid gap in the middle of the day. Unpaid gaps do not count as working time, so a split shift lengthens the day without raising the pay.
Weekend work
Not stated
Whether Saturday or Sunday classes are part of the normal schedule.

Housing and benefits

Housing
Not stated
Severance pay
Offered
Severance (퇴직금) and national pension / health insurance enrollment are legal requirements for full-time employees in Korea. “Not stated” only means the listing doesn’t mention it — ask before you sign. “Not offered” means the listing says no.
National pension
Offered
Health insurance
Offered
Flight / settlement support
Not stated
Paid vacation
Not stated
Contract vacation days, separate from Korean public holidays. For context, Korea's Labor Standards Act §60 (근로기준법) — 11 days in the first year (one per full month worked), 15 days from the second, rising by one every two years to 25. Workplaces with fewer than five employees are outside this rule (§11), so ask how many staff the school has.
