At the bottom of the fifth part of the judgment of the court of first instance, the third part of "the ground for recognition of 1-4, 6-8" was written in 1-2, 1-2, 1-1 through 4, 6-8, 11-1 through 8, and the result of the court of first instance ordering the National Tax Service to submit tax information to the National Tax Service by the court of first instance, and the result of the fact-finding on the light asset management loan of the court of first instance and the court of first instance (hereinafter referred to as "one light loan"), and the purport of the entire pleadings."
2. Determination
A. As to whether the plaintiffs constitute workers under the Labor Standards Act
The reasons stated in this part are as follows, and this part of the reasoning of the judgment of the court of first instance is the same as that of the corresponding part of the reasoning of the judgment of the court of first instance. Thus, it is acceptable in accordance with the main sentence of Article 4
○○, Nos. 7, 14, and 15 of the judgment of the first instance, “This method is deemed to have been applied to the Plaintiffs, even if the period of service overlaps with that of Nonparty 1 and Nonparty 1, in light of the fact that the period of service overlaps with that of the Plaintiffs and Nonparty 1, it may be deemed that the aforementioned method of service is also applied to the Plaintiffs. However, as seen earlier, it is difficult to deem that the above method of service has the same binding force as the previous period for the Plaintiffs while the Plaintiffs occupy a portion above 50% when compared with the income of the Defendant company during the same period of time.”
In the judgment of the court of first instance, the plaintiffs could not be free from such instructions, in the light of the fact that the service period of the plaintiffs and the non-party 1 overlaps with that of the plaintiff and the non-party 1, the plaintiffs could not be free from such instructions. However, as seen earlier, the plaintiffs did not hold concurrent offices in other companies, and further, during the period in which the income from concurrent offices accounts for not less than 50% compared with the income of the defendant company during the same period, it is difficult to view that the above specific work instruction was applied to the plaintiffs as the same content and robbery as the previous period."
In light of the fact that the service period of Nonparty 1 and Nonparty 1 overlaps with that of the Plaintiff, the management of these contents may be deemed to have been carried out as it is against the Plaintiffs. However, as seen earlier, it is difficult to deem that such management of the content was carried out as it was identical to that of the previous period while the income of the Defendant was compared with that of the Defendant company during the period of 50% or more when compared with that of the Defendant company.”
○○, the first instance judgment of 11, No. 16, and No. 17, stated “I seem to have continued within the period of service of the Plaintiffs in the above-mentioned basic facts” to read “The Plaintiffs, as seen earlier during the period of service of the Plaintiffs, have been holding concurrent office in other companies, and further, during the remainder of the period excluding the period of not less than 50% when compared with the income of the Defendant Company during the same period.”
○○ Decision 12, 13, 14, 8, 12, 13, 14, and 8, shall be followed as follows.
B) Judgment on the defendant's argument
The defendant asserts that even if the plaintiffs were employed by the defendant, since November 2012, the non-party 2, who filed a retirement allowance claim lawsuit against the defendant, had concerns over disadvantageous action against the defendant in the above lawsuit, and thus, the defendant did not direct, supervise, and manage the debt collection center's business affairs. Thus, the plaintiffs from the above point of time should not be regarded as the defendant's employee at least. Even if the plaintiffs were employed as the defendant's employee even after the above point of time, they cannot be viewed as the defendant's employee at least from the time when the plaintiffs were employed as another company'
Therefore, as seen earlier, it is difficult to view that there was a difference in the terms of November 2012 at the time when the Defendant asserts that the matters such as the Defendant Company’s “business process method through the Sanet,” “specific business instruction,” “management of recovery performance,” and “management of work attitude,” as seen earlier. The fact that there is the period of concurrent office held by the Plaintiffs in other companies alone does not necessarily mean that the subsidiary nature of the claims collection business that the Plaintiffs offered to the Defendant is immediately denied from the time when the Plaintiff started to obtain income from other work places than the Defendant Company as such (On the other hand, it is difficult to view that Korea Light Loan was immediately denied from the time when the Plaintiff started to work at the place of business other than the Defendant Company’s company (On the other hand, Plaintiff 2, 3, 4, and 6’s commuting time for inquiry of fact at 9:0 am and 6:0 am. However, the above reply was not related to the period of work worked by the above Plaintiffs as a previous commission contract, but it appears to work
However, in light of the following facts: (a) the Plaintiffs’ period of 50% or more compared with the income earned from the Defendant Company during the same period (the above period of work experience; (b) the above period of work experience falls under the last year of the period in which the remaining Plaintiffs except Plaintiff 6 work for the Defendant Company; and (c) the period of work experience for the Plaintiff 2, 3, 4, and 6 appears to have been settled by December 2015, falling under the commissioned contract period of work; and (d) the above period of work overlaps with the above period of work experience, it is difficult to view that the Plaintiffs were exclusively in charge of the Defendant’s debt collection agent; and (d) in light of the above period of work experience and concurrent office period of the Plaintiffs’ income size, it is reasonable to view that the Plaintiffs’ above period of work experience through the Defendant Company’s “work experience method through the Defendant Company”, “specific business instruction”, “collection performance management performance”, and the remaining period of work experience as the Defendant’s command and supervision is limited to the above period of work.
The period between September 1, 2004 and July 30, 201, 204, and the period between September 1, 2004 to September 1, 201, to December 22, 2012, 2008 to October 13, 2013, 208 to October 30, 2013 to October 30, 2013, 206. 3.6. 16. 16. 3. 20 to September 3, 201, 207 to September 3, 201, 2015, from September 3, 201, 201 to September 3, 201, 206 to November 16, 201, 200 to November 31, 2015. < Amended by Presidential Decree No. 24815, Nov. 4, 2013>
Therefore, the defendant's above assertion is justified only for the remainder except the above period of recognition of worker status.
B. Regarding the plaintiffs' retirement allowance claim
1) Defendant’s duty to pay retirement allowances
As seen earlier, the plaintiffs are employers who provided their labor to the defendant who is the employer for the purpose of wages, and have lost their status as workers while performing claims collection business for more than one year. Therefore, the defendant is obligated to pay retirement allowances under the Guarantee of Workers' Retirement Benefits Act to the plaintiffs for the period of recognition of the status as workers.
2) Scope of retirement pay
A) Calculation of average wages per day;
In addition to the purport of the entire arguments in the statement in subparagraph 11-1 through 4, 6-8 of the evidence Nos. 11-1, the whole amount of fees, etc. received by the plaintiffs during the three-month period prior to the loss of worker status can be recognized as the same fact as each corresponding amount.
On the other hand, the defendant asserts that the above amount received by the plaintiffs should be excluded from the total amount of wages paid within the average wage calculation period, since the installment interest collection rewards, interest collection rewards, and transportation expenses cannot be seen as compensation for labor. However, although the payment method differs depending on whether the debt collection agency collects the interest in installments or collects it in lump sum, it is reasonable to see that all of them are the piece of performance bonus for which the debt collection agency is liable to pay to the defendant according to the result of collection in direct relation to the provision of labor as the "interest collection". It is reasonable to see that they have the nature of the payment for labor. ② The transportation expenses were uniformly paid according to the number of days of attendance for the debt collection to facilitate the provision of labor, and therefore, it is difficult to see that the defendant merely compensates the actual expenses in consideration of the payment obligation without the payment obligation, which is also included in the scope of wages subject to labor.
Therefore, if the average wage per day for each plaintiff is calculated according to the calculation formula (i.e., the amount received for the calculation period ¡À91 or 92 days in total for the calculation period; hereinafter the same shall apply), the amount is as stated in the "average wage per day" in the annexed retirement allowance calculation sheet.
B)the calculation of retirement allowances;
As seen earlier, the period of recognition of worker status for each plaintiff is the same as the corresponding period stated in the attached Table 1 for the calculation of worker status" (this refers to the plaintiff 2 from October 1, 2008; the plaintiff 3 from September 1, 2009; the plaintiff 4 from December 1, 201; the plaintiff 5 from January 1, 2009; and the plaintiff 6 from January 1, 2010 to the defendant 6 from the above judgment of the court of first instance as the date of conclusion of the first entrustment contract; the plaintiff 2 from October 13, 2008 to September 16, 2009 to the above part of the average wage for the plaintiff 2 from September 16, 201 to June 16, 201 to the above part of the average wage for the plaintiff 3 from the above judgment of the court of first instance; the above part of the plaintiff 1 to the plaintiff 3's average wage should be calculated separately for the above reasons.
3) Sub-decisions
Therefore, the defendant is obligated to pay damages for delay calculated at the rate of 6% per annum from the day after October 30, 2018 under the Commercial Act and 20% per annum of the Labor Standards Act from the day on which the plaintiff's claim was made, as the plaintiff's claim was made with respect to each of the relevant amounts and each of the above amounts as stated in the annexed retirement allowance calculation table "the amount cited in this court" as retirement allowance calculation table to the plaintiff (as seen in the above, the number of plaintiffs 1, 2, 3, and 5 is more than the amount cited in the first instance court, but the period of recognition of worker status for all of the plaintiffs including the above plaintiffs has been reduced than the first instance court. In light of the circumstances where the period of recognition of worker status for all of the plaintiffs including the above plaintiffs has been reduced by the first instance court, it is reasonable to determine the reasons for excluding damages for delay under Article 37 (2) of the Labor Standards Act and Article 18 (3) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act).
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiffs' claims shall be accepted within the scope of the above recognition, and the remaining claims shall be dismissed for lack of reasonable grounds. Since part of the judgment of the court of first instance different conclusions are unfair, the defendant's appeal is partially accepted, and the plaintiffs' claims corresponding to the revoked part are revoked, and the defendant's remaining appeals against the plaintiffs are dismissed for lack of reasonable grounds.
