Summary of Evidence
1. Statement by the defendant in court;
1. Each petition of D, E, F, G, and H;
1. Application of relevant Acts and subordinate statutes to the statements of D, E, F, G, and H;
1. Article 109 (1) and Article 36 of the Act on the Standards for Relevant Acts concerning facts constituting an offense, and Articles 109 (1) and 36 of the Labor Standards Act, and selection of fines;
1. The former part of Article 37 of the Criminal Act, and Articles 38 (1) 2 and 50 of the same Act, which aggravated concurrent crimes;
1. Article 70(1) and Article 69(2) of the Criminal Act to attract a workhouse;
1. Workers on the grounds of sentencing under Article 334(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act, who received a small amount of substitute payment from the Labor Welfare Corporation, in whole or in part, receive unpaid benefits. However, the small amount of substitute payment system is a system that the Minister of Labor pays unpaid wages, etc. to workers on behalf of the employer in accordance with the Guarantee of Wage Claims Act in order to stabilize the livelihood of retired workers without receiving wages. Thus, barring any special circumstance, such as where the Defendant repaid the amount equivalent to substitute payment, it is difficult to consider it as sentencing materials favorable to the Defendant solely on the ground that the employee received a small amount of substitute payment.
Accordingly, the defendant repaid until March 12, 2018.
