- Hours you must be at the workplace, including prep and gaps between classes.
- Split shift

Housing and benefits
- Housing

- Severance pay
- Offered

- Health insurance
- Offered
- Flight / settlement support
- Offered
- Paid vacation
- Not stated
- Contract vacation days, separate from Korean public holidays.

Workplaces with fewer than five employees are outside this rule (§11), so ask how many staff the school has.
The employer

- Recruiter / agency
- Who you would sign a contract with.

Ask before you sign
- How many hours will I be at the school in total, not just teaching?
- How many teaching hours a week?
- How many paid vacation days, and when can they be taken?
Silence isn’t a denial: it may well be offered, but nobody has written it down. ?
- Working terms
- Not stated: payday, raise on renewal, paid sick days, public holidays, class size, foreign teachers on staff, teaching materials, housing deposit, utilities
- The questions teachers ask in almost every interview. This listing does not answer them, so ask before you sign.
