Be quite careful about accepting side work. In fact, the PSB made it quite clear to the university where I worked for over 8,000 kwai that side work by FTs would not be tolerated and could result in serious consequences such as heavy fines and being kicked out of China.

Newbies beware! Before considering side work in China, be sure to contact your local PSB or IED office so that you'll know exactly how the rules are being interpreted in that province. What can happen and what has happened is that some teachers will accept a low paying position because they believe they can pad their salary with off campus work. In some cases this is true - in others not so true.

If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.
