2. The plaintiff's assertion
A. The Plaintiff received monthly salary equivalent to 70% of average wages and 30% of ordinary wages from the Defendant during the period of medical care due to occupational disease in accordance with the standard prescribed in the wage regulations of this case. The Defendant asserted that, in addition to the basic salary, the Defendant has the obligation to pay the workers a total of 104,284,390 won of temporary layoff benefits calculated on the basis of ordinary wages including the above bonus, etc. and compensation for delay in payment thereof, in a fixed and uniform manner. The Defendant had calculated ordinary wages and paid temporary layoff benefits based on the amount including the above bonus, etc. under the Labor Standards Act, but did not include them in ordinary wages. Thus, the Defendant has the obligation to pay the Plaintiff a total of 104,284,390 won and delay in payment thereof, which have not been completed from September 2009 to July 2012.
B. The Plaintiff asserts that, during the period of medical care due to occupational disease, annual leave allowances have occurred in accordance with the standard prescribed in the wage regulations of this case, and that the Defendant did not pay this. Thus, the Defendant is obligated to pay the Plaintiff the unpaid annual leave allowances of 39,962,360 won from the year 2008 to the year 2010, the extinctive prescription of which has not been completed, and the damages for delay.
3. Determination
A. Whether the Defendant should pay compensation for suspension of work under the wage provision of this case on the basis of ordinary wages under the Enforcement Decree of the Labor Standards Act
1) Ordinary wages are guaranteed as the minimum amount of average wages that can be increased or decreased according to actual working hours or performance pursuant to Article 19(2) of the former Labor Standards Act (amended by Act No. 2007, 4, 11; hereinafter the same purport of Article 2(2) of the current Labor Standards Act). Additional allowances for overtime hours, night and holiday work as prescribed in Article 55 of the same Act, and advance notice of dismissal as prescribed in Article 32 of the same Act are based on calculation of overtime hours, night and holiday work, etc., and each of the above provisions does not have a separate minimum standard other than premium rates or payment days, so if the agreement to exclude various allowances that should be included in ordinary wages from ordinary wages is recognized as having the effect of an agreement to exclude them from overtime hours, night and holiday work, each of the above provisions provides that workers shall be paid premium for a certain period of time, and thus, it shall be excluded from the ordinary wages under Article 2(2) of the Labor Standards Act. However, if it does not have any possibility of calculating the above statutory allowance under the Labor Standards Act as 20.
2) With respect to the instant case, the wage provision of the instant case limits ordinary wages to basic pay, self-development cost, production allowance, job allowance, environmental allowance, statutory/general qualification allowance, aviation license allowance, and bonded goods caretaker allowance. The fact that the Defendant paid 30% of ordinary wages calculated based on the wage provision of the instant case, not the ordinary wages defined in the Enforcement Decree of the Labor Standards Act, as part of compensation for suspension of work, is as seen earlier.
① However, the Labor Standards Act provides that “an employer shall pay a worker who is under medical care due to an occupational injury or disease a compensation for suspension of work equivalent to 60/100 of average wages during the medical care (Articles 78 and 79).” The Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act provides that temporary disability compensation benefits shall be paid to the worker who suffers from an occupational injury or disease for the period of non-employment due to medical care, and the daily amount of payment shall be the amount equivalent to 70/100 of average wages. If the beneficiary received or is eligible to receive insurance benefits under this Act, the policyholder shall be exempted from liability for accident compensation under the Labor Standards Act for the same reason (Articles 52 and 80). ② The wage provision of this case limits the worker’s payment of 30% of ordinary wages as defined in the Labor Standards Act or the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act, and in fact, the Defendant’s payment of temporary disability compensation benefits beyond the scope of ordinary wages under the Labor Standards Act or the amount of the above ordinary wages under the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act shall not be considered as one of the Plaintiff’s wage under the Labor Standards Act.
B. Whether the annual leave allowance is paid
The Labor Standards Act provides that "an employer shall grant a paid leave of 15 days to an employee who has worked not less than 80 percent of one year, and in this case, the period of suspension of work due to occupational injury or disease shall be deemed to have worked at work (Article 60)." The defendant's employment rules also provide that "where an employee has worked at least 80 percent of one year, the period of suspension of work due to occupational injury or disease shall be deemed to have worked at work, and the employee shall be deemed to have worked at work, and the period of suspension of work due to occupational injury or disease shall be deemed to have paid an allowance for the number of days of unused leave during the year (Articles 85 and 119), and the wage rules of this case provide that "if an employee fails to use the annual paid leave that occurred in the preceding year, the annual paid leave shall be paid at the beginning of the following year." However, if an employee stops for a long time due to occupational disease as seen earlier, it is doubtful that there is no annual paid leave for the days of unused leave.
However, the annual paid leave is significant to provide workers who have worked for a certain period of time with an opportunity for mental and physical recreation and to improve their cultural life (see Supreme Court Decision 2008Da41666, Oct. 9, 2008). In other words, the Defendant’s collective agreement states that “the Defendant shall pay 70% of the average wages before the temporary retirement of workers who have worked for medical treatment or due to occupational injury or disease and 30% of ordinary wages before and after the temporary retirement leave shall not be paid annual paid for the pertinent year” (Article 80), and that “the annual paid leave shall not be paid if the Plaintiff does not work for a certain period of time before and after the pertinent year of temporary retirement, it is difficult to recognize that the annual paid leave is in violation of the Labor Standards Act, even if the annual paid leave is not paid for the pertinent year after the date of temporary retirement, it is difficult to recognize that the annual paid leave is in violation of the Labor Standards Act, such as the wage management agreement and the annual paid leave after the date of temporary retirement.”
4. Conclusion
Therefore, all of the plaintiff's claims are dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
