I have a problem.I have worked in a private hagwon for almost two years, and am now looking to move to a public school. I went to the provincial Education Office to obtain a certificate of my experience, but they had no record of me. I asked my boss, and was told my school didn't register me. My school said they can provide me with a letter, but a public school won't accept this as experience.Is there anything I can do? Is a hagwon required to register you as a teacher?
Your boss is required by law to give you proof you worked in Korea if you ask for it.The Korean Labor Standards Act: Chapter 2 "Labor Contract": Article 38 Certificate of Employment(1) If an employer has been requested by a worker to issue a certificate specifying term of employment, job specification, title and wages or other necessary information even after the retirement of the worker, he shall immediately prepare upon fact and deliver the certificate.(2) The certificate referred to in Paragraph (1) shall only contain the items that the worker concerned has requested.
Article 19 (Request for Issuance of Certificate of Employment) The persons eligible for requesting the issuance of the certificate of employment in accordance with Article 39 (1) of the Act shall be the workers who have been employed for 30 days or longer continuously, but such a request shall be made within three years after retirement.
