형식적 전적에도 불구하고 실질적 계속근로관계가 인정되어 퇴직금 지급 의무 발생
판결 결과
회사가 근로자에게 29,516,252원 및 지연손해금을 지급할 의무 인정
사건의 개요
근로자는 2004년 11월부터 2015년 1월까지 회사와 계열사(E, F, 해광건설)를 오가며 근무했습니다. 회사는 2015년 3월에 퇴직금 일부(5,797,589원)만 지급하고, 나머지를 지급하지 않았습니다. 근로자는 형식적으로 회사가 바뀌었을 뿐 실질적으로는 같은 곳에서 계속 일했다며 미지급 퇴직금을 청구했습니다.
핵심 쟁점과 법원의 판단
실질적 계속근로관계 인정 여부
- 회사의 주장: 근로자가 여러 회사로 전직했으므로 근로관계가 단절됨
- 법원의 판단:
- 세 회사는 모두 같은 경영주(C)와 그 가족이 운영하며, 같은 사업장에 위치
- 근로자는 형식상 회사만 바뀌었을 뿐, 실제로는 같은 장소에서 같은 업무를 계속 수행
- 경영주의 일방적 결정으로 인한 형식적 전직일 뿐 실질적 근로관계는 단절되지 않음
퇴직금 산정
- 계속근로기간: 2004년 11월 22일 ~ 2015년 1월 31일 (3,723일)
- 총 퇴직금: 35,511,131원
- 기지급액 공제 후 미지급액: 29,516,252원
회사의 주장에 대한 반박
- 과거 기간 퇴직금 지급 증거 부족
- 일부 지급한 금액도 대부분 반환되거나 다른 용도로 사용됨
- 소멸시효는 최종 퇴사 시점부터 진행되므로 이전 기간의 별도 소멸시효 주장 불인정
실무적 시사점
경영주의 편의를 위한 형식적 전직은 근로자 보호 원칙 앞에서 효력이 없습니다. 계열사 간 인력 이동 시 실제 업무 장소, 내용, 승계 의무 등을 종합적으로 판단하여 퇴직금 청구권을 보호받을 수 있습니다.
