Each hagwon in Korea is required to prominently display a TAX CERTIFICATE and an EDUCATION CERTIFICATE. The former indicates that your tax is being paid and not pocketed. The latter should have your name added and be prominent on the certificate. You should ask for this at least and your ID Number. One teacher recently requested this, too which the school simply stated 'NO' to both. This is a serious infraction of Korean Law and action will follow.

Make it a point of asking politely at first for this information. It is crucial for you to know that your taxes are being paid, at the right amount, and that you will then be able to receive a tax refund at the end of the year.

If we all did this our Directors may treat is more differently.
