Contracts are another source of dispute between teachers and "employers”. In most cases the teachers are given one-year contracts which may be renewed depending on the needs of the company and the teacher's performance over the course of the year. By doing this, schools are able to categorize teachers as temporary employees, regardless of how long they actually stay with the company. As a result, teachers don't receive the benefits that they would be eligible for as permanent employees. The companies claim that this is done because they can't offer permanent contracts to employees who may only have one year visas, but teachers feel that this isn't the case. In their view, these contracts make it easier for the company to get rid of people if there is a dispute, or if they simply become too expensive to keep on.
