All appeals by the defendant and the prosecutor are dismissed.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. On the grounds delineated below, the court below erred by misapprehending the facts and adversely affecting the conclusion of the judgment.
A) The Defendant’s deduction of traffic accident 1,200,000 won, which the Defendant did not pay to D, is not a wage, because it is not a bonus paid under the condition of an accident. Thus, even if the Defendant did not pay D who caused the two traffic accidents an allowance on board on the ground of non-performance of the condition, it does not constitute a pre-determined penalty under Article 20 of the Labor Standards Act.
B) Since there was a considerable reason to contest the existence of the obligation to pay wages, etc. to D, the Defendant had an intention to pay wages to the Defendant.
shall not be deemed to exist.
2) The sentence that the lower court rendered unfair sentencing (an amount of KRW 300,000) is too unreasonable.
B. According to the evidence submitted by the prosecutor 1), although the defendant could sufficiently recognize that he did not pay the retirement allowance of KRW 1,381,140 to D, the court below erred in the misapprehension of legal principles as to this part of the facts charged and adversely affected the conclusion of the judgment.
