B. The plaintiffs' labor contract relationship
1) On June 9, 1997, Plaintiff 1 entered a continental enterprise corporation (hereinafter “alternative land company”) and the affiliation of Plaintiff 1 was changed on March 1, 2001 to the South Mawn Promotion Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Seoul Maw Promotion”), and the affiliation was changed on February 1, 2008 to the continental company.
2) On April 11, 1996, Plaintiff 2 entered the continental company, and the affiliation was changed on March 1, 2001.
3) On January 17, 2000, Plaintiff 3 entered a continental company, and the affiliation was changed on June 1, 2007, and the affiliation was changed on February 1, 2008 to a continental company.
4) At the time of the above-mentioned change, the Plaintiffs’ wages and all the working conditions were to be succeeded to by the changed company as it is. From June 9, 1997, Plaintiffs 1 and 2 from April 11, 1996, Plaintiff 3 worked as an employee for the production of the Defendant’s composite fertilizer in which the contract was entered into with the continental company and the South-North Korea Promotion (hereinafter collectively referred to as “foreign company”) from January 17, 200, and the Defendant’s composite fertilizer company that entered into a contract with the said changed company.
C. The non-party company entered into a collective agreement on wages and working conditions with a trade union in the company, hired new workers by giving a public notice of employment under the name of the non-party company, and exercised its independent personnel authority and disciplinary action against its employees. In addition, the non-party company directly paid wages to its employees, processed the tax withholding and payment of wage and salary, and conducted its own business activities such as paying individual business income by purchasing four insurance in the name of each representative, and making a separate business registration.

Meanwhile, the Cocoa system filed an application for reexamination with the National Labor Relations Commission on the determination of the said committee, but the said application for reexamination was dismissed on June 25, 2009.
[Reasons for Recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1, 2, 7, 73 through 78 (including branch numbers; hereinafter the same shall apply), Eul evidence No. 8, and the purport of the whole pleadings
2. The parties' assertion
A. The plaintiffs
1) The plaintiffs formally concluded a labor contract with the non-party company, but since the substance of the contract concluded between the defendant and the non-party company is a worker dispatch contract, Article 6 (3) 1 of the former Act on the Protection, etc. of Temporary Agency Workers (amended by Act No. 8076 of Dec. 21, 2006; hereinafter the "former Dispatch Act") (hereinafter the "instant provision"), the plaintiff 1 and the plaintiff 2 from July 1, 2000, when two years have passed since each of the former Dispatch Act was enforced, and the plaintiff 3 deemed employment from January 17, 2002, which was the day after the second year from the date of the dispatch to the defendant, and the relationship between the plaintiffs and the defendant was established.
2) However, the Defendant did not pay wages to the Plaintiffs who provided labor to the Defendant from September 1, 2008, and from around December 2008, the Defendant refused to receive labor provided by the Plaintiffs even if they were not actually dismissed or dismissed by preventing the Plaintiffs from entering their factories.
3) Therefore, the Defendant is obligated to pay the Plaintiffs monthly wages from September 1, 2008 to December 31, 201, to the difference between the Defendant’s unpaid wages and the wages actually received from the Nonparty Company or the Cocoa system, and from January 1, 2012 to the Defendant’s workplace.
B. Defendant
1) The plaintiffs were workers of the non-party company who were under the direction and supervision of the non-party company, and the defendant, the contractor of the non-party company, did not have been directed and ordered in the position of the employer, which is a requirement for the temporary placement of workers, in addition to the direction of the non-party company, and since the plaintiffs' duties and the duties of the workers belonging to the defendant are different
2) Since there is no labor relationship between the plaintiffs and the defendant, even if the defendant prevented the entry of the plaintiffs' factories, it cannot be said that the plaintiffs were actually dismissed or the plaintiffs refused to receive labor provided. Therefore, the plaintiffs' claim based on this premise is without merit.
3. Whether the provision of this case applies to the plaintiffs
(a) Criteria for determining contract and dispatch;
1) Article 6(3) of the former Dispatch Act provides that “If a user company continues to use a temporary agency worker for more than two years, it shall be deemed that the temporary agency worker is employed from the day following the expiry of the two-year period.” According to Article 2(1) of the same Act, “temporary agency of workers” means “the temporary agency has a temporary agency worker, while maintaining an employment relationship after the employment relationship with the worker and under the direction and order of the user company in accordance with the terms of the temporary agency contract, to have the user company engage in work for the
2) According to the facts acknowledged earlier, the non-party company has an independent business activity, such as exercising personnel rights and paying wages directly to workers. However, whether the non-party company constitutes a genuine contract relationship with the defendant, or whether it constitutes a contract dispatch relationship in substance, although it is formally a contract relationship. Determination on this issue is not the appearance or form of the contract, but rather the overall circumstances such as the content of the contract, the process of performing its duties, and the eligibility of the parties to the contract. The detailed criteria are as follows.
A) Contents of a contract: Whether there exists an agreement on the completion of a specific day (whether the purpose of the contract is clear, whether the time limit for the purpose of the contract is clearly set), whether delivery and receipt is necessary after the completion of the day, whether a claim for payment can be made before the completion of the day (in the case of temporary placement, it is possible to claim payment according to the amount of work hours according to the amount of work hours regardless of the degree of objective work progress), whether there is any incomplete performance of the day or defect in the result, whether the temporary work agency is liable for the warranty liability therefor (in the case of temporary work agency, it is liable only when there is negligence on
B) The process of performing duties: (a) whether the contractor directly directs and supervises workers on the job site and manages their labor (which means supervision of whether they are on attendance, leave, and leave, and burden of education and training for workers) or not the contractor’s work performance process is linked and subordinate to the contractor’s work performance process; (b) whether the contractor’s work performance process is a systematic distinction between the contractor’s work performance and part of the work; and (c) whether the contractor directly provides labor in matters other than those subject to contract.
(c) Eligibility of parties to a contract: Whether the party has the ability to perform the work that has become the subject matter of the contract (professional technical ability, high level of professional manpower, the provision of working clothes or other protective clothes, the supply of labor materials, the possession of independent business facilities), and whether the party can be specialized in a specialized area;
B. Facts of recognition
1) Contracts between the defendant and the non-party company

In addition, the non-party company shall be liable for damages against the defendant in the event of a
2) Type of operation of the Defendant’s complex fertilizer plant
A) The Defendant’s complex fertilizer plant produces complex fertilizers by operating machinery equipment in the 1st to the 7th floor factories, and in the 2nd factory, the 1st to the 7th floor factories. The two producers are not independent, but each Ra’s same floor is connected with each other, and each Ra’s employees engaged in duties on the 7th floor.
B) On-site instruction systems of a complex fertilizer plant were conducted in the order of the head of the complex fertilizer team, the manager of the management department (the assistant of the secretary) , the shift leader of each group , and the shift leader of each group , and the on-site workers (the employees belonging to the defendant and the employees belonging to the non-party company). On-site workers were ordered by all the employees belonging to the defendant and the employees belonging to the non-party company to work on the day from the shift leader of each group , and completed the preparation of daily work days and the loading status of the combined fertilizer warehouse
C) The Plaintiffs, along with the employees belonging to the Defendant, organized and organized the composite fertilizer team organization pursuant to the Defendant’s “B, C, and D” list, and arranged and organized under each Article (8 hours, and worked for the 4th class (8 hours). Each Article was composed of 9 (10 persons where there is an intersection) including three employees belonging to the Defendant and the remaining employees of the non-party company, including the three employees belonging to the Defendant and the non-party company. The Defendant managed the organization of working hours and working hours of the employees belonging to the Defendant and the non-party employees belonging to the non-party company, and the said employees were placed in accordance with the Defendant’s work order.
D) Workers belonging to the non-party company were in charge of the duties of OF SITE (on-site drivers of the first floor), on-site drivers of the second and third floor, and on-site drivers of the fifth and sixth floor. Specifically, in the case of work with the on-site drivers belonging to the defendant, the non-party company conducted the duties of checking and maintaining the equipment of each floor for every two hours through cooperation without distinguishing the duties, and cleaning the removal of valves and pumps, sludge, and sludge.
E) On March 1, 2007, South Postal Promotion: (a) appointed Nonparty 1, the general secretary of the South friendly Promotion, to the general secretary of the field agent; (b) Nonparty 1 consulted on the principal duties with the Defendant’s labor officer, etc. and worked at the office of the South friendly Promotion Headquarters. On the other hand, on October 1, 2007, South Postal Promotion was an employee of the Defendant’s security guard team who works as the on-site agent, and was appointed Nonparty 2, Nonparty 3, Nonparty 4, Nonparty 5, and Nonparty 6, but the said on-site agent was merely designated as the on-site agent in preparation for emergency situations at night, and was on duty at the Defendant guard.
F) Although working clothes, safety shoes, etc. were paid by the non-party company, the non-party company was owned by the Defendant. The non-party company’s composite fertilizer plant, which is the working place, was paid by the Defendant, various working tools, such as insertings, electric piracys, grains, pipes, etc. (the above dust marries, heat stacks, etc. were kept in front of the atmosphere, so they could be employed by both the Defendant’s employees or the non-party company employees. The Defendant’s employees and the non-party company employees used the same transit bus.
3) The defendant's involvement in the work of the employees of the non-party company
A) The head of the Defendant Lottery Team, while carrying out a combined fertilizer plant, pointed out the tasks without the classification of the employees belonging to the Defendant and the employees belonging to the non-party company, and carried out safety education and job training for the said employees.
B) The Defendant management officer prepared the status of individual work attitude, and received confirmation from the head of the Defendant Lottery Team, took charge of the Plaintiffs’ commuting management, and approved the Plaintiffs’ overtime work, holidays, and vacations upon receiving a report.

[Based on the recognition] Evidence Nos. 2 through 64, Evidence Nos. 5, 6, and 18, Part of Evidence No. 8, and the purport of the whole pleadings
(c) Markets:
1) Whether the worker dispatch relationship exists or not
In full view of the facts acknowledged earlier and the following circumstances revealed by the evidence revealed, it is reasonable to view that the contract entered into between the Defendant and the Nonparty Company constitutes a temporary placement contract, and accordingly, the Plaintiffs were dispatched to the work site of the Defendant and was directly directed and supervised by the Defendant.
A) Details of the contract
(1) According to each contract document entered into between the non-party company and the defendant, the defendant is entitled to request the work as described in the contract document, but the part to which the contract was received is not clearly distinguishable from the work of the employee to which the defendant belongs.
(2) As the price for completion of the standard contract as of the end of each month, the contract cost is to be paid on the 10th of the following month, but this is not the result of the day, but the contract cost is to be paid on a monthly basis depending on the degree of labor provision for the employees belonging to the non-party company. There is no time period for the purpose
(3) In the event of a business defect, the defendant can demand the non-party company's liability for warranty and liability for damages. In fact, the defendant did not ask the non-party company for the warranty liability in relation to the defect part, although he received an explanatory note from the employees under his control.
B) The process of performance of duties
(1) At the work site of the defendant, employees belonging to the non-party company including the plaintiffs were assigned to work in the same group with the employees belonging to the defendant, and even in the scope of work, the non-party company was placed in each floor of the composite fertilizer factory that is organically connected to the defendant, and engaged in the inspection and maintenance of equipment and devices and the production of composite fertilizers in addition to the simple cleaning work. The employees belonging to the non-party company appears to have engaged in the above work in cooperation with the employees belonging to the defendant who are placed on each floor in the process of performing their work, and it is not deemed that they performed only the work after being assigned separate duties distinct from the work of the employee belonging to the defendant.
(2) On-site agents belonging to the non-party company did not work at the place of the defendant's work, and the manager of the defendant's work, together with the employees belonging to the non-party company, identified the work status, personnel status, etc. of the workers belonging to the non-party company and pointed out matters, and actually managed the workers belonging
(3) The Plaintiffs changed from a continental company to a promotion of South Korea, and the affiliation of Plaintiffs 1 and 3 was changed again to a continental company, but the duties performed were the same as the Defendant’s management and production of a complex fertilizer plant, and the wage and all of the conditions were succeeded to the changed company.
(4) The Defendant managed the working hours and work schedule of the employees belonging to the Defendant and the employees belonging to the non-party company, and the said employees provided labor accordingly.
(5) The Defendant managed the overtime work and leave work of the employees belonging to the non-party company, and when the employees belonging to the non-party company use leave, the Defendant obtained approval from the Defendant manager.
(6) In regard to this, the Defendant asserted that he exercised the right of inspection or instruction as a contractor, but considering that the Defendant determined working hours for workers belonging to the non-party company in addition to the work site and actually directed and supervised the contents of the work, it is reasonable to deem that it exceeded the limit of the right of instruction for contract. Therefore, the above argument is difficult to accept.
C) Eligibility of the contracting party;
(1) Some of the tasks assigned to the employees belonging to the non-party company did not require the contractor’s professional skills or worker’s skill as part of the tasks assigned to the non-party company, and did not have been put into work the non-party company’s own skills or capital in performing the production of multiple fertilizers required by the defendant.
(2) The work site was provided by the Defendant, and various work tools, such as insertings and electric sea machines, etc., and the Defendant paid them.
2) Application of the instant provision
A) According to the former Dispatch Act, a person who intends to engage in a temporary work agency business shall obtain the permission of the Minister of Labor as prescribed by the Ordinance of the Ministry of Labor (Article 7(1)5). Since the business of direct production in the manufacturing industry is excluded from the business of temporary placement of workers in principle (Article 5(1)6). As seen earlier, in this case, insofar as the contract between the defendant and the non-party company is a contract for temporary placement of workers in substance, it shall be deemed illegal temporary placement, and in this case, the provision of this case shall also apply (see Supreme Court en banc Decision 2007Du22320, Sept. 18, 2008).
B) Therefore, Plaintiff 1 and Plaintiff 2 are deemed to be employed respectively from July 1, 200, when two years have elapsed since the enforcement of each former Dispatch Act, and from January 17, 2002, from the day following the expiration of two years from the date of dispatch to the Defendant, respectively. In this case, the period of employment relationship is no longer determined based on the grounds that there are no special circumstances (see Supreme Court en banc Decision 2007Du22320, Sept. 18, 2008).
3) Defendant’s assertion and judgment
A) Claim on the change of temporary work agency
(1) The defendant's assertion
Even if the temporary placement relationship is established, the Plaintiffs clearly expressed their dissenting opinion refusing to apply the principle of employment by entering into a new employment contract with the changed temporary work agency after the date of employment deeming that the temporary work agency was changed under the instant provision, and thus, the said provision does not apply to the Plaintiffs pursuant to the proviso of the instant provision. Even if the instant provision applies to the Plaintiffs, the effect of employment deeming that the temporary work agency to which the Plaintiffs belong after the date of employment deeming that the temporary work agency to which the Plaintiffs belong was changed was extinguished. Furthermore, even if the validity of employment deeming that the employment deeming that the employment deeming period is more than two years after the user company clearly becomes aware of the change to which the employees were employed, the time of employment deeming that the employment deeming period was more than two years after the date when the user company becomes aware of the change to which the employees were employed. As such, from September 1, 2010 to September 1, 2008, and Plaintiff 2 is deemed to have been employed from March 1, 2003, respectively.
(2) Determination
As seen earlier, even if the Plaintiffs’ temporary work agency was changed after the effect of employment as seen earlier, so long as the Plaintiffs’ temporary work agency relationship was succeeded to between the Plaintiffs and the Defendant, there is no obstacle to recognizing the effect of direct employment as long as the Plaintiffs’ temporary work agency relationship was terminated as it is. However, if the temporary work agency changed without such reason, it is apprehended for the user company to abuse it and continuously conclude a contract by changing the temporary work agency, thereby allowing the user company to illegally use the dispatched workers in the long term, and thus, it cannot be seen as such. Furthermore, the change of the Plaintiffs’ temporary work agency to Plaintiff 1 and 3 by the promotion of South and North Korea is merely made by the Defendant, the user company, based on the conclusion of the contract with Nonparty Company and Cry system and the substance of the worker temporary work contract. Considering that it cannot be deemed that the Plaintiffs’ change of the Plaintiffs’ temporary work agency position at the time of employment with the changed temporary work agency after the change of the Plaintiffs’ temporary work agency, the Plaintiffs’ assertion that the changed employment contract concluded with the user company cannot be seen as the employer’s objection.
B) The argument regarding the principle of invalidation
(1) The Defendant brought the instant lawsuit on August 24, 201, which was 13 years after the former Dispatch Act came into force on July 1, 1998. The Defendant asserts that the exercise of the right is not allowed even if it is based on the principle of invalidation due to the exercise of the right after the Defendant made a legitimate expectation that the Plaintiffs would not exercise their right to claim wages.
(2) Considering that it was not easy for the Plaintiffs to file a claim for confirmation of the status of workers or a claim for wage payment against the Defendant at the location where the Defendant’s factory works, as seen earlier, the Plaintiffs filed a petition for illegal dispatch with the Gwangju Regional Labor Agency around February 21, 2008, where the Plaintiffs continued to work for the Defendant, and subsequently won the first lawsuit on October 1, 201, and subsequently won in the second instance of the first lawsuit on October 24, 201, it cannot be deemed as the exercise of rights against the principle of invalidation. The Defendant’s assertion on this part is without merit.
C) Relevant argument as to speech and good faith principle
(1) On January 21, 2009, the defendant asserted that the plaintiff 1 and the plaintiff 3 filed an application for unfair dismissal with the Jeonnam Regional Labor Relations Commission for dismissal, and received an order of reinstatement on April 3, 2009. On September 7, 2009, the above plaintiffs filed a claim for unpaid wages against the Coco system, thereby claiming that the above plaintiffs' user is the Cocoa system. However, in the lawsuit of this case, the defendant's assertion that the above plaintiffs are the employers is against the principle of speech and good faith, and thus, it is not permissible.
(2) Upon dismissal of Plaintiff 1 and Plaintiff 3 on January 21, 2009, the above plaintiffs filed an application for unfair dismissal with the Jeonnam Regional Labor Relations Commission, and returned to the Konam System in accordance with the above committee's order of restoration from the original position, as seen earlier. In full view of the overall purport of the pleadings in each of the statements in No. 3-1 through No. 5 of the evidence No. 3, the plaintiffs 1 and 3 filed a lawsuit against the Konam System on September 7, 2009, the Busan District Court 2009Da14988, the same court 2009Gau14971, and the same court 2009Gau14971, and the plaintiff's system is still pending in the appellate court as of September 7, 2009.
(3) However, as revealed in the facts acknowledged earlier, ① on January 21, 2009, before the dismissal from the Cocoa system, Plaintiff 1 and Plaintiff 3 asserted the status of the employee, such as requesting confirmation of the status of the employee, etc., and ② Plaintiff 1 and Plaintiff 3 filed a claim for unfair dismissal and remedy against the Cocoa system against the above Plaintiffs, as temporary agency workers, were placed in an unstable legal position because it is unclear whether the above Plaintiffs are entitled to receive wages from the Defendant on the premise that a labor contract relationship exists with the Defendant under the application of the provision of this case as the temporary agency workers. Accordingly, both the Defendant and the Cocoa system were refused to pay wages to secure the survival of the above Plaintiffs, and it is merely against the Cocoa system that was actually entered into an actual labor contract in order to secure the wages of the above Plaintiffs (and the other party asserts that there was a labor contract relationship with the above Plaintiffs, and thus, it cannot be viewed that the above Plaintiffs did not seek the payment of wages again against the Defendant.
4. Determination on the claim for wages
A. The parties' assertion
1) The plaintiffs
In the event that the instant provision is applied and a labor contract relationship between the Plaintiffs and the Defendant is established, working conditions such as wages shall be applied to workers performing the same or similar kind of work as the Plaintiffs, and the Plaintiffs’ wages to be paid to the Plaintiffs shall be calculated based on the Defendant’s employment rules and the part applied to class 4 on-site operators among the employees belonging to the Defendant, as they perform the same or similar work as class 4 on-site operators.
2) Defendant
A) Even if the instant provision is applied and a labor contract relationship between the Plaintiffs and the Defendant is established, the former Dispatch Act only provides for the instant provision on deeming employment, but does not provide for working conditions. Therefore, with respect to the Plaintiffs’ working conditions, the wage should be calculated by applying, as it is, the working conditions set between the Plaintiffs and the Nonparty Company.
B) Even if the Plaintiffs and the Defendant newly set the working conditions, the Plaintiffs’ wages to be paid to the Plaintiffs should be calculated on the basis of the Defendant’s employment rules and the part applied to the on-site driver under the collective agreement, as they were to perform the same or similar work as the on-site operator of the Defendant’s day duty (off duty2).
C) Even if the Plaintiffs, as alleged by the Plaintiffs, performed the same or similar duties as the class 4 on-site operators belonging to the Defendant, the Defendant proceeds from the employment process by two methods of open recruitment and screening. Since the Plaintiffs are employed by screening, the wages to be paid to the Plaintiffs should be calculated on the basis of the portion applied to the screening employees.
B. Determination
1) Working conditions where the instant provision applies
Article 6-2 (3) of the Act on the Protection, etc. of Temporary Agency Workers newly established on December 21, 2006 provides that “If a temporary agency worker needs to use the temporary agency worker continuously for more than two years and the worker is engaged in the same or similar work as the temporary agency worker, working conditions shall apply to the temporary agency worker.” However, the purpose of the amendment is to enhance the protection of temporary agency workers and to prevent unreasonable discrimination against the temporary agency worker, and to prevent the abuse of the temporary agency worker contract by the user company and the temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's temporary agency worker's work.”
2) Working conditions applicable to the plaintiffs
A) Facts of recognition
(1) At the time of January 1, 2002, the Defendant’s position was classified into class 3 or higher, class 4 (on-site drivers, office workers), daily work workers (on-site drivers, on-site drivers, wharf cleaning stations, and cooking stations, etc.) (1).

B) Determination
(1) In full view of the following circumstances, it is reasonable to view that the working conditions applicable to the Plaintiffs apply to class 4 on-site operators among the collective agreements concluded between the Defendant’s rules of employment and the labor union consisting of the Defendant’s employees and the Defendant’s employees.
(A) At the Defendant’s work site, the Plaintiffs were assigned to work in the same group with the employees belonging to the Defendant, and were placed in each floor of a complex fertilizer plant with the employees belonging to the Defendant, and performed the work of checking and managing each floor machinery and tools, producing complex fertilizers, and cleaning garbages, such as sludges. In this case, the Plaintiffs appear to have performed the work such as the Defendant’s Class 4 on-site driver under the contract between the Defendant and the non-party company, as stipulated in the contract between the Defendant and the non-party company, and do not seem to have performed the work only after being assigned a separate work from the Class 4 on-site driver under the jurisdiction
(B) On-site drivers and the Plaintiffs, who belong to the Defendant, received safety education and job training from the head of the Defendant’s alternate department. The content of such education appears to be identical, and it does not seem that the content of education differs from that of the Defendant or the Nonparty Company.
(C) The defendant placed only those who have a class of class 4 or higher at a complex fertilizer factory or workers belonging to the non-party company including the plaintiffs, and there is no placement of a daily on-site driver.
(D) Whether the employment has been made through a screening as to whether the employment has been made through open recruitment is not related to the same or similar type of business, and the defendant shall, in principle, employ a class 4 on-site operator through open competition notice, and the employment is made only once there is a person who meets the requirements, and it shall not be deemed that the plaintiffs are subject to screening.
(2) Therefore, the defendant is obligated to pay the amount of wages calculated under the above rules of employment and collective agreement from September 1, 2008, which the plaintiffs sought from September 1, 2008 to the reinstatement of the plaintiffs, less the amount equivalent to the wages the plaintiffs received from the non-party company (the defendant has a defense that the three years elapsed retroactively from the date of filing the lawsuit among the plaintiffs' claim for wages, and the three years elapsed retroactively from August 24, 201, the plaintiffs claim only wages for three years retroactively from August 24, 201, which is the date of filing the lawsuit in this case. Thus, the defendants' defense is without merit).
(c)the calculation of a specific amount;
1) Determination of wages by item
Based on the premise that Plaintiff 1 and Plaintiff 2 were newly admitted to the Defendant on July 1, 200, and Plaintiff 3 on January 17, 2002, respectively, the criteria for the calculation of wages under the rules of employment and collective agreement of the Defendant to be applied to the Plaintiffs are as follows. The wage amount by item and the detailed calculation details by item under this criteria are as shown in the corresponding column of each of the attached Table.
(1) Basic wages:
Under Article 5(1) of the Regulations on Employee Remuneration and Retirement Allowance, the basic salary of class 4 refers to the salary class on the salary table of the 2008 professional engineer in accordance with Article 5(1) of the Defendant’s Regulations. In the case of the Plaintiffs, since the Plaintiffs performed the same kind of work for at least two years at the time of employment deeming that they performed the same work for at least 2 years, the Plaintiffs’ salary class is calculated by recognizing the career experience corresponding to 16 months under Article 12 of the Rules on Personnel Management of the Defendant (i.e., 24 months x 70% x a small number of employees) and calculating the salary class, and reflecting the details of the wage class on March 2, 2010 and December 2011, the amount is as stated in the “basic salary
(2) Vocational class:
According to Article 5 (2) of the Rules on Employee Remuneration and Retirement Allowance of the Defendant, occupational salary refers to the amount obtained by subtracting the basic salary of the corresponding salary from the standard remuneration (in the beginning salary). Accordingly, the Plaintiffs’ occupational salary shall be calculated by subtracting the amount of KRW 529,100 from the basic salary of initial salary from KRW 938,100, which is the basic salary of initial salary (public) in 2008.

The △△ Military Force Training Expenses: annual “(monthly standard remuneration + Environmental Health Allowances) 】 300% (Article 20(2) of the Employee Remuneration Rules), and the amount calculated by dividing the above amount by 12 months for the convenience of calculation shall be deemed to have been paid every month.
(4) Bonuses.
The defendant shall pay 600% of the sum of the environmental health allowances as annual bonus on the monthly standard remuneration (Article 19(2) of the Rules on the Payment of Employees' Remuneration), and shall be deemed to have received every month the amount calculated by the methods of "(monthly standard remuneration + environmental health allowances + 600% ± 12" for the convenience of calculation.
(5) Night work allowances.
The Plaintiffs’ monthly ordinary wage is calculated by the method of “standard remuneration + work environment allowance + site allowance + bonus to be monthly + physical training allowance to be monthly + hourly average wage.” The amount calculated by dividing it by 179 hours per month prescribed in Article 50(2) of the collective agreement. Meanwhile, the Plaintiffs are 32 hours for night work per working period (16 days) (4 hours at night work x 7 hours + 4 hours at night x 4 days x 1 hour) and such work period is repeated on January 9 of each month (365 days ± 16 months ± 12 months, and small number of places hereinafter). Accordingly, each night work allowance for the Plaintiffs is stated in the separate sheet.
(6) Annual leave allowances:
The annual leave allowance occurs in cases where an employee fails to use his/her annual leave after acquiring the annual leave right, and where the above annual leave is used all, he/she cannot claim the annual leave allowance. However, there is no evidence to recognize that the Plaintiffs did not use or would not use the prescribed annual leave, such as that assertion, the annual leave allowance does not include the scope of unpaid wages.
