유흥주점 웨이터 미지급 임금 관련 근로기준법 위반 고의성 부인 판결

결과 요약

피고인에게 근로기준법 위반의 고의가 없다고 보아 무죄를 선고함.

사실관계

피고인은 경남 창원시 성산구 B에 있는 'C주점'의 대표로서 유흥주점업을 경영하는 사용자임.

고소인 D 외 2명은 피고인의 주점에서 웨이터로 근무하다 퇴직하였음.

피고인은 퇴직한 근로자 3명의 임금 합계 44,698,140원을 퇴직일로부터 14일 이내에 지급하지 아니하였음.

검사는 고소인들의 근로시간을 기준으로 최저임금을 계산한 후 피고인이 지급한 기본급과 룸TC를 공제하여 미지급 임금을 산정하였음.

핵심 쟁점, 법리 및 법원의 판단

근로기준법 위반죄의 고의성 여부

임금 등 지급의무의 존재에 관하여 다툴 만한 근거가 있는 경우, 사용자에게 근로기준법 제36조, 제109조 제1항 위반죄의 고의가 있었다고 인정하기 어려움.

임금 등 지급의무의 존부 및 범위에 관하여 다툴 만한 근거가 있는지 여부는 사용자의 지급거절 이유, 지급의무의 근거, 회사의 조직과 규모, 사업 목적 등 제반 사항, 다툼 당시의 제반 정황에 비추어 판단해야 함.

사후적으로 민사상 지급책임이 인정된다고 하여 곧바로 형사상 고의가 인정되는 것은 아님.

법원은 피고인에게 임금 미지급으로 인한 근로기준법 위반의 고의가 있었다고 인정하기 부족하다고 판단함.

고소인들이 사업장에 종속적인 관계에서 근로를 제공했다고 볼 여지가 충분히 있으나, 피고인으로서는 웨이터들이 근로자에 해당하지 않는다고 다툴 만한 합리적 근거가 있다고 판단함.

피고인이 웨이터들과 별도의 근로계약을 체결하거나 서면상 약정을 하지 않음.

웨이터 보수는 대부분 룸TC와 팁에서 발생하며, 피고인이 이를 고지하고 고소인들도 인지하고 일을 시작함.

별도의 취업규칙이나 근무수칙이 없었으며, 웨이터들은 비교적 자율적으로 근무시간대를 선택할 수 있었음.

피고인이 웨이터들로부터 최소 근무기간이나 계약기간을 약속받은 바 없고, 웨이터들은 언제든지 일을 그만둘 수 있었음.

결근이나 지각에 대한 징계나 특별한 제재가 없었음.

피고인이 웨이터들에게 지급하는 금원에 대해 근로소득세 원천징수를 하지 않음.

웨이터 또는 접객원의 '근로자성'에 대한 법원의 판단이 일률적이지 않고 구체적인 사실관계에 따라 달라지는 점을 고려함.
