직장 회식 중 성추행 사건의 상급자 징계 책임과 재량권 남용
판결 결과
회사가 상급자에게 내린 해임 처분은 무효로 판단됨. 상급자는 성추행 방지 의무 위반으로 징계사유가 있으나, 해임은 지나치게 가혹한 처분으로 징계 재량권을 남용한 것으로 봄.
---
사건의 요점
상황: 회식 중 직원들의 성추행 사건이 발생했고, 회사는 이를 감독하지 못한 상급자를 해임 처분함.
근로자 주장: 추행 행위를 목격하지 못했으므로 징계사유가 없거나, 해임은 과도하다고 주장.
참고 사항: 실제 가해자들은 부당해고 판정으로 복직하거나 해고무효 소송에서 승소함.

핵심 판단
1️⃣ 징계사유 인정 (부분 승인)
- 최상급자로서 직장 내 성추행을 방지·제지할 의무 존재
- 근로자가 추행을 전혀 인식하지 못했다고 보기 어려움
- 의무 위반으로 징계사유 성립
2️⃣ 해임은 재량권 남용 (본안 승인) ✅
법원이 해임을 무효로 판단한 이유:
- 추행은 회식 중 우발적으로 발생
- 근로자는 술에 취해 모든 상황을 인식하지 못했을 가능성
- 근로자가 직접 추행에 가담하거나 지시하지 않음
- 직접 가해자들도 부당해고로 판정됨 (형평성 문제)
- 퇴근 후 회식에서 근무 중 수준의 감독을 기대할 수 없음
3️⃣ 임금 지급 의무
해임 무효이므로 회사는 월 478만 원을 복직까지 지급해야 함.
---
실무 시사점
성추행 예방 의무는 있으나, 상급자가 직접 가담하지 않은 우발적 사건에 대해 지나친 징계는 정당성이 약함
징계의 비례성·형평성 고려 필수 (특히 직접 가해자의 처벌 수준과의 형평)
