I have a job offer, which I’ve accepted, but they can’t quite give me enough teaching hours. Now, I know that there’s a minimum number of hours I have to work in order to get an ARC. I very much want to do everything legally, so I was planning to ask them to reduce my hourly rate and have them pay me for lesson planning and grading. With teaching, lesson planning, and grading, I would reach 14 hours a week and the total weekly pay would be the same.
I haven’t proposed this to them yet, as now I have two major concerns:
-
Can I make my 14 hours a week spread across two locations (I would ask for work permits for both locations)? It’s the same company, but they have two branches.
-
Is there a monthly minimum they have to pay me? I had never heard of this before, just the fourteen hours per week requirement, but came across some threads mentioning that the sponsor of an ARC has to pay X amount of NTD per month.
I really want to work legally, but I’m having a really hard time figuring out exactly what I need to do in order to be legal. If there’s no way to make this work legally, I will pull out of this job.
