JEPIK원어민교사방

All JEPIK are entitled to 26 paid vacation days. Paid leave days do not include weekends and public holidays. However, you should consider the following: If you are saving all of your vacation days for summer or winter and you have end up with 15 days of summer or winter camp, you are risking having very little flexibility with your travel/vacation plans. It is recommended to take shorter days during the summer vacation period and longer days during the winter vacation period.

 

Please consider the schedules of ALL your schools. Academic calendars are often distributed at the beginning of the year and are usually posted on each school’s websites under “학사일정” or you can request one from your schools. Your paid leave requests should not disrupt the normal operations of your workplaces. Please be mindful that school programs as their schedules take precedence over yours. Referring to the Article 14(Annual Paid Leave).

 

For long vacations, you should plan to go during school vacation periods and come back before the start of the next semester or right end of your contract, keep in mind that English camps and related duties take PRECEDENCE. Including mandatory training etc. Since we often have to take long, expensive flights to travel/see our families and friends, you’ll likely want to start talking about vacation programs with your schools about two month in advance. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT BOOK ANY FLIGHTS UNTIL YOUR PAID LEAVE DAYS HAVE BEEN APPROVED.

 

If you have any schedule conflict where you feel that the contract is not being upheld, please contact JEPIK coordinator joannaa@jbedu.kr
