Students pre-pay the classes and expect them to be delivered on time and in full length. On the other hand, the teachers also expect the same from the students - to come and pay for the scheduled classes. To deliver what each side wants and to fulfill our promises, we have created these rules for teachers and students:

If the lecturer is late longer than 5 minutes, 50% of the salary for the given lecturer teaching will be deducted as a fine and the class can be transferred to another lecturer.
The lecturer should check the scheduled lessons each day (there may be some changes).

If a teacher cannot teach the class and requests leave less than 24 hours in advance, but at least 3 hours in advance, he will be deducted as a fine 10% of the hourly wage for each affected class. For example, if the teacher has 3 classes on Tuesday afternoon and asks for leave on Tuesday morning, and his payment is 10 Eur per hour, 3 x 1 Eur (10% of 10 Eur) = 3 Eur will be deducted from that teacher's monthly payment.
If the teacher requests a leave less than 3 hours in advance, or does not attend the class without notifying the company, he will not be paid for this class and will be deducted as a fine 50% of the hourly salary for each affected class.
This is true even if the teacher is available but unable to teach due to a computer, device or internet problem.
