Salary and benefits

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

Starting class fee

This depends on several factors, such as:

1. Teacher’s education,
2. Work experience
3. Behavior during the training session(s)
4. Mock class
5. Booking rate (for the future pay raise)
6. Feedback from the clients (for the future pay raise)

Starting pay rate will be decided by the employer. At the beginning of your employment,
you are supposed to open 80 classes a month/ 20 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.

One of the most important standards of BetaKid teachers is the booking rate exceeding 80%
of opened classes. If the teacher is ready to deliver special kinds of classes (RE/REF) from the
first day of work, their starting class rate may be altered.

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% (of the number of OPENED classes) x (class fee). 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, maximum 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 either 0.25 USD or
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. 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
Teachers are not supposed to discuss their salary/class rate with other teachers.

IV Bonuses

1. Referral bonus
If the applicant passed the training and has been working in the company as a regular teacher
for at least 3 months, the teacher who had referred them will receive 20$.
For further information about how to refer the new teachers, please consult with HR.

2. Attendance BONUS
NO absences, NO leaves, NO complaints from students within 1 month- 25$.
*If your booking rate is lower than 70%, then you can't get the attendance bonus.

3. General course performance bonus

If the teacher finishes a certain number of classes that fall under this category, he/she will be
entitled to receive an additional amount of money (the bonus) to their paycheck:
Number of classes FINISHED: Bonus (USD)
