At MIL, for your base salary you will teach up to a maximum of 26.6 hours (1600 minutes) each week. Here is an example of what your regular weekly schedule might look like. Even though everyone's schedules are a little bit different, this should give you the basic idea.

​

Dana, the teacher with the schedule below, works a 5 day workweek, with Sundays and Wednesdays off.

​

For the week, Dana has a total of 1545 Teaching Minutes, which is a little bit under the base maximum of 1600 teaching hours for the week. This doesn't include transportation time to and from each school. Nor does it include class preparation time.

​

On Monday and Saturday, Dana's teaching time exceeds 320 Teaching minutes for the day, so she is entitled to 45 yen per minute overtime on those days.

​

On Monday and Tuesday, Dana's work shifts exceed 8 chronological hours, so she will be paid an additional 1000 yen per day on those days.
