The defendant's appeal is dismissed.
Reasons
1. The summary of the grounds for appeal (fact-finding) is that the Defendant did not employ the E and E wifeF as a worker, and there is no fact that they instructed or supervised their business, and thus, the Defendant is not obligated to pay wages to E and F.
Nevertheless, the judgment of the court below which convicted the charged facts of this case is erroneous by misunderstanding the facts and affecting the conclusion of the judgment.
2. Determination
A. Whether a person is a worker under the relevant legal doctrine ought to be determined by whether the person actually provided labor in a subordinate relationship with the employer for the purpose of wages regardless of the form of a contract. On the contrary, determination of who is liable to pay wages and retirement allowances for a certain worker should be based on the actual labor relationship regardless of the form of a contract or the content of the relevant law.
