결과 요약

- 회사의 명예훼손 불법행위로 인한 위자료 2,000,000원이 인정됨.
- 근로자의 정신과 치료비 및 변호사 수임료는 회사의 불법행위와 상당인과관계가 없다고 보아 기각됨.
사실관계
- 회사는 원주시 C에서 'D' 어린이집을 운영하고, 근로자는 2019. 5. 1. 피고와 근로계약을 체결하여 보육교사로 근무함.
- 근로자는 2019. 10. 18. 어린이집 급식 관련 민원을 제기함.
- 회사는 2019. 10. 27. 학부모 간담회에서 근로자에 대해 "회식 자리에서 평가제 준비하며 주임으로서 스트레스를 많이 받아 힘들다고 토로.", "술에 취해 주임직을 계속하겠다고 말을 바꾸며 난동을 부림.", "동료교사와 원장님께 인격모독의 말을 함."이라고 발표함(이하 '이 사건 불법행위').
- 근로자는 2019. 10. 30. 병가를 신청하고 출근하지 않음.

핵심 쟁점, 법리 및 법원의 판단
근로계약의 종료 방식 및 미지급 임금 청구의 타당성
- 쟁점: 원고와 피고 간 근로계약이 해고로 종료되었는지, 합의해지로 종료되었는지 여부 및 이에 따른 미지급 임금 청구의 인정 여부.
- 법리: 근로계약의 합의해지는 당사자 간의 의사 합치에 의해 성립함. 무급 병가 기간 및 근로 제공이 없는 기간에 대한 임금 지급 의무는 없음.
- 법원의 판단:
- 근로자가 2019. 12. 13. 병가 연장 거부에 따라 근로계약 해지 의사를 표시하고, 회사가 2019. 12. 15. 퇴사 처리에 동의함으로써 근로계약은 합의해지로 종료됨.
- 근로자의 2019년 10월분 임금은 이미 지급되었고, 2019. 11. 1.부터 2019. 12. 1.까지는 무급 병가 기간이므로 임금 청구는 이유 없음.

- 2019. 12. 2.부터 2019. 12. 15.까지는 근로자가 임의로 출근하지 않아 노무를 제공하지 않았으므로 임금 청구는 이유 없음.
- 근로계약이 2019. 12. 15. 합의해지로 종료되었으므로, 그 이후 기간의 임금 청구도 이유 없음.
명예훼손 불법행위로 인한 손해배상책임 및 범위
- 쟁점: 회사의 이 사건 불법행위가 근로자의 명예를 훼손하였는지 여부 및 그로 인한 손해배상(치료비, 변호사 수임료, 위자료)의 범위.
- 법리: 불법행위로 인한 손해배상책임은 가해행위와 손해 발생 사이에 상당인과관계가 있어야 함. 변호사강제주의를 택하지 않는 우리나라 법제상 불법행위 자체와 변호사 비용 사이에 상당인과관계는 인정되기 어려움.
- 법원의 판단:
- 회사의 이 사건 불법행위는 근로자의 명예를 훼손하였으므로, 회사는 근로자가 입은 손해를 배상할 책임이 있음.
- 근로자의 정신과 치료비(915,700원)는 이 사건 불법행위 이전에도 스트레스 지수가 높았고, 불법행위 이후 유의미한 변화가 없으므로 불법행위와 상당인과관계가 인정되지 않아 기각됨.
- 근로자가 지출한 변호사 수임료(5,000,000원)는 불법행위 자체와 상당인과관계가 있다고 보기 어려우므로 기각됨.
- 이 사건 불법행위의 내용, 동기, 경위, 근로자가 입은 피해의 정도 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 위자료 2,000,000원을 인정함.
- 회사는 근로자에게
