Q: Has anyone been paid for January yet?

As we will soon be moving into March, I'm interested to know if people have been paid for January yet?  Understandably it's not possible for payroll departments to get into work to process pay etc. Given the special circumstances and the ease of online money transfers, could and should employers be finding other ways to pay employees at this difficult time? 
Also, what are the legal pay rates for February? Any information and personal experience on this matter would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Yes. I was paid for January in January. 

TuskyT123:

That's for the reply. How about Feb salary? Would you know at all what the standard percentage of pay is in these circumstances?

Where are you working? If it's for a language school they might be feeling the financial pressure. If it's a govt run school / uni or whatever then who knows...

 

Strange times right now, things like contracts and usual office procedures probably aren't much of a guide at the moment.

TuskyT123:

It's a private language school. Being part of a consortium of different businesses, the school is well protected financially. So where is da cashiola? :D

Some schools started to lay off their foreign teachers. Some schools don’t want to pay full pay check.

Worrying times.

It depends. I think it will create a new market because most teachers will not come back to China for a while.

Our HR paid everyone correctly month to month, but that might be something to do with the size of our company, like, more than 30 branches.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
