I’m presently employed directly by my school teaching PE and English Intensive P1. However, I’m a little concerned over a Filipino teacher. She is very pleasant and has recently replaced another Filipino who was here for only a week before he left, he didn’t inform the agency he works for or the school. This I have just found out.

The conversation arose because she is concerned about her wage and how she would be paid; this is when I realized the scam. It appears the first Filipino who works for an agency is applying for the jobs, which he than hands over to another Filipino without telling the agency or the school. He then takes a cut of the teachers’ wages.

The point being this lady shouldn’t be working here, and neither does the agency have her account details to pay her. She is presumably putting her trust in this guy, and no doubt he is taking the larger cut.

Do I inform the school or stay out of it?
