Salary and benefits

I Probation status
Probation period lasts between 3-5 months. Chinese part of the company will decide and inform the
teacher when the probation period shall end.

Starting class fee

Starting pay rate will be decided by the employer. At the beginning of your employment, you are
supposed to open 120 classes a month/ 30 classes a week. One of the conditions to finish your
probation is to open at least 120 classes a month. You are supposed to work at least 4 days a
week, and the schedule is fixed. Once you make your schedule, you can add the number of
classes but you cannot subtract them. Moreover, cannot subtract or change the work days, only
add more.

Payslip explanation - ADJUSTMENT: If a teacher reaches the booking rate above 70% of opened
classes, (which is the minimum to be qualified), their payment shall be counted as following:
(class fee) x (number of FINISHED classes). However, if your booking rate is lower than 70%,
especially during your probation period, there is nothing to worry about! At BetaKid, we make sure
that our new teachers are well taken care of, and if you have the booking rate under 70%, especially
as you start working, your payment shall be counted as following: 70% (class fee) x (number of
OPENED classes). This rule was instated so that the new teachers’ payment would not suffer,
because as teachers start compiling their list of regular students they may have fewer booked classes.
During your probation status you will be monitored for your in-class performance, your students’
feedback and your work attitude.
In the probation period, the teachers must show up to every class since there are certain
penalties that will apply:
• One time no show- will affect the probation time and you pay the penalty (check the *List of
complaints* at the end of this file).
• Two times no show- will affect the pay raise.
• Three times no show- will result in contract termination.

II Regular status
Your promotion from probation to regular status will be based on the following:
• Students’ feedback
• Course consultants and sales team feedback
• Workplace attitude
• Complaints
• Booking rate

As stated above, your probation period lasts at least 3 months, it can last even longer than 5 months.
Teachers will be officially notified about the date when their probation period is about to end. This is
decided by the employer. You are not supposed to make an inquiry about the end of your probation
period since your trainer has no information on the matter.

III Salary levels

You will start your probation period at Level 1 (3.5$ per class, unless otherwise stated). Teacher’s
overall scores will be evaluated by the Chinese side of the company in order to determine what level
they will start at after the probation. The pay raise is 0.5 USD per class.
Teachers may have the opportunity to level up twice a year depending on their performance:
-The first level of pay raise will happen after the teacher finishes their probation period. -The
second pay raise may happen in the first year of your work and it will be based on the teacher's
performance.
*if you didn't get the first salary increase, you can't get the other as well
As stated above, your trainer has no information on this matter.
All the pay levels span from 3.5$ to 7$ per class.
*weekend incentive- each class that you do during the weekend will be paid additionally, 1$ per class
* If you work only weekends, the fee is 3.5$.
Teachers are not supposed to discuss their salary/class rate with other teachers.

*
Please be advised that the Payoneer will make a deduction per each transaction upon the
Payoneer’s policy. The deduction fee is 3 USD. For example, if the company pays you 100 USD
on your Payoneer account, you will receive 97 USD dollars. All the fees and deductions in your
Payoneer account are regulated by Payoneer's policy, not by our company.
IV Bonuses

*If your booking rate is lower than 70%, then you can't get the attendance bonus.

3. General course performance bonus

V Leave arrangement

Days off/sick leave are counted from 1.5.2021.-1.5.2022.

All teachers will have a certain number of days during a year that they can take as their off days
without any deductions!

A day off or the sick leave without deduction can be taken until 12am (midnight)
(Local time).

*(Public/state holidays are included in this number of days you can take) – you can choose to
work on Public/State holidays or not, it’s up to you – but days you take off will be counted.
The number of classes opened per month/week The number of days off per year

160+ (40 and more classes per week) 22

120-159(between 30 and 40 classes per weak) 12

80-119 (less than 30 classes per week) 8

*Please note that after one year of working in the company, the number of days off grows and you
will receive three additional days off. E.g. Teachers who started working before May 1, 2019, will get
their days off reset at May 1, 2020. The final number of days off a year is 28.

Days off- Starting from May 1, 2021

Teachers who have been working in the company for at least a year, will receive 3 additional days off
(for the period 1.5.2021 - 1.5.2022).
*For example, if you started working on 4th September 2020, on 4th September 2021 will be a year of
work in our company, you will get your three days on 1st May 2022.
The maximum number of days off per calendar year (1.5.2021 - 1.5.2022) is 28. There are
12 months in a year, and the starting number of days off is 22. Divided by 12, that is 1.8
days off on a monthly basis.
 Month when you The number of days off The number of days off The number of days off
started working (until May 1, 2022) (until May 1, 2022) (until May 1, 2022)

May 2021 22 12 8
June 2021 20 11 7
July 2021 18 10 7
August 2021 16 9 6

For Example: Nena started working in July2021., she has 18 days off till 1st od May 2022., if she
opens more than 160 classes, 10 if she opens 120-159 classes per month...

If you increase the number of class, please contact Javier to increase your days off as well.
For example, Nena started working in July and she opened 120-159 classes per month, in that case she
has 10 days off until 1st May 2022. In September, she opened more than 160 classes, which is why she
should have more days off and she contacts Javier in that case so that the number of days off would be
increased on the platform

If someone has not spent their days off until May 1. 2022, based on the table above, they shall receive
remuneration - 15$ per day.
If someone has already used their days off, they will not receive any money.
If someone decides to take days off for May in April, that is deducted from the new days off.
If someone starts working after May 1. 2021, their days off will be counted based on the previous
table.

VI Sick leave

All teachers, from 1.5.2021.-1.5.2022., will have 14 days of sick leave per calendar year. This number
is final, it does not depend on the time spent working for the company.

Please be kindly advised that there is a rule for reporting sick leave from December 1st. If a
teacher wants to report sick leave from May 1st 2021, they will need to upload a document as
proof, when taking a sick leave, by the 5th next month(by local time the 4th of next month until
17h).

For Example: Nena takes sick leave on May 20th, because she is feeling extremely sick, she will go to
the doctor`s office, or do some analyses in a couple of days. By June 5th, Nena is in obligation upload
a document as proof of sickness ( a bill from the doctor`s office, blood analysis, any medical
document), and notify one of the TAs (Javier) that the document has been uploaded, to make the
document approval process faster.

If all leaves during one calendar year exceed the number of days already mentioned, teachers will face
deductions according to the list we provide:

are supposed to face charges based on the number of classes they canceled.
If you have to take sudden sick leave, please provide medical evidence, and no money will be
deducted from your salary and that leave will be counted as sick leave, not annual.
VII Penalties and deductions table

in question.
If a teacher cancels their classes suddenly for more than 4 times a month, they are supposed to
have a face-to-face talk with the trainer and they will receive a written warning. If this happens
6 times during a month, the contract with the said teacher will be terminated and the teacher is

VIII Comments

Teachers are required to submit their comments (with marked page numbers!) until05am (local
time). If you fail to do so, the class will not be paid and you will get a written/verbal warning.
The 3rd warning will result with immediate termination.

*Please note: if you encounter problems with submitting the comment (due to platform issues),
take a screenshot and send it to us (on a Skype Beida group) as a proof, and report on the “ASK
FOR HELP” option. Someone will assist you and you will not be penalized for that.

If you write the wrong name of the student or the wrong lesson content, the class will not be paid. If
you do not mark the page correctly, half of the class rate will be deducted

Please be kindly advised that there have been a lot of complaints about Teachers' comments from the
parents - COPY/PASTE comments, same comments, or wrong name in the comment. This is a big
issue, and there is a new rule in place, so that this issue does not occur again: If any teacher gets a
complaint ( one complaint) about their comments, they will lose one chance to get a pay raise.

The comments HAVE TO be written even though you haven't written them in time. You won't
be paid for that.

Once again, if teachers don’t finish the comments on time, the classes will not be paid.

IX Salary schedule

Dear Teachers, please be kindly advised that the salary is calculated from the 1st of the month until
the 30th/31st of said month and will be received on the 15th of the following month (I.e. the
salary for June (calculated 1-30th of June) will be received on the 15th of July).

Delays might occur due to the processing by the third-party financial institution.

For any questions and concerns, approach your trainers for assistance.
Thank you,
