Hiring Question: Pension/Medical benefits

Just a quick question about benefits. Once you are hired on a full-time contract, how long does an employer legally have before they must register you with the pension office and with the National Health Insurance system? Thanks for any help!

Need Pension info for private pensions: roll over, lump sum payout?

I'm leaving my college after 7 years. I'm wondering whether I should get a lump sum pay out, or roll it over to the next college.

I understand that after 5 years, 8 years, etc. somehow I get more benefit. If I rollover the pension does my enrollment time continue to accrue and bring benefit to me, or not? If I get a lump sum payout do I start at zero at the next school?

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

Non whites been discriminated against as native speakers

Hi please I am trying to get a discussion and eventually changes here. Often when there are advertisement for native English speakers its restricted to 5 countries namely USA , UK, Australia New Zealand and these days South Africa. I often wondered why and only found out why when I started a teacher recruitment agency. What the difference between recruiting teachers from South Africa and Ghana white teachers can be fielded from S.Africa. What the difference between the English dialect spoken in New Zealand and Jamaica? Chances are the teacher from New Zealand is white!!!

F4 Visa and DWI on background check

I'm an American Korean adoptee that would like to move to Seoul or the surrounding area for 1-2 years to experince the culture and travel. I initally planned to teach English for work but have learned that a clean background check is required and I have a DWI on my record. I can get a F4 visa but my understanding is that the schools will request the background check. Will any schools hire without a background check or is it possible to tutor or find a non-teaching job without a background check?

Koreaherald in Busan...anybody worked there? comments?....

Hello to all fellow teachers,

I am looking into the Koreaherald English academy in Busan. There are two branches to my knowledge. Is or has anybody worked for them? If so, can you comment on your experience (i.e.: relationship between you and the director/other Korean staff, did they fulfill the obligations of the contract: pay on time or pay at all? vacation, etc. ). Would you recommend Koreaherald?

Any comments or help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks

Koreabridge
