핵심 쟁점, 법리 및 법원의 판단
해고예고수당 미지급으로 인한 근로기준법 위반 여부
- 법리: 해고는 근로자의 의사에 반하여 사용자의 일방적 의사에 의해 이루어지는 모든 근로계약관계 종료를 의미하며, 사용자는 해고 시 30일 전 예고하거나 30일분 이상의 통상임금을 지급해야 함. 해고예고는 일정 시점을 특정하여 하거나 근로자가 알 수 있는 방법으로 이루어져야 함.
- 법원의 판단:
- 피고인이 2020. 6. 8. 직원들에게 2020. 6. 15. 사업장 폐업 및 근무 종료를 공지한 것은 실질적으로 피고인의 일방적인 의사에 의한 해고에 해당함.
- 피고인은 해고일로부터 불과 일주일 전 해고를 예고하였고, 해고사유와 시기를 서면으로 통지하지 않음.
- 피해근로자들이 사직서를 제출하거나 퇴직 의사를 표시한 사실이 없음.
- 피고인의 경영상 어려움은 해고예고수당 예외 사유에 해당하지 않음.
- 따라서 피고인에게 해고예고수당 미지급에 대한 고의가 인정되며, 원심의 유죄 판단은 정당함.

- 근로기준법 제26조
휴업수당 미지급으로 인한 근로기준법 위반 여부
- 법리: 근로기준법 제46조 제1항에 따라 사용자의 귀책사유로 휴업하는 경우 사용자는 휴업기간 동안 평균임금의 100분의 70 이상을 지급해야 함. 여기서 '사용자의 귀책사유'는 사용자가 불가항력이라고 주장할 수 없는 모든 사유를 의미함.
- 법원의 판단:
- 교육청의 휴원 권고는 강제 조치가 아닌 권고였으며, 피고인은 휴업 여부를 결정할 수 있었음에도 휴업을 선택한 것으로 보임.
- 피해근로자들이 휴업수당을 지급받지 않고 무급휴직에 동의했다고 볼 증거가 없음.
- 피해근로자들이 고용안정지원금을 신청한 것만으로 휴업수당 포기 의사를 표시한 것으로 단정할 수 없음.
- 따라서 C의 휴업은 피고인의 경영상 판단에 의한 귀책사유로 인한 휴업에 해당하며, 휴업수당 미지급에 대한 고의가 인정됨. 원심의 판단은 정당함.

금품청산의무 불이행(인센티브 미지급)으로 인한 근로기준법 위반 여부
- 법리: 임금 등 지급의무의 존부와 범위에 관하여 다툴 만한 근거가 있는 경우 사용자에게 근로기준법 제109조 제1항, 제36조 위반의 고의가 있었다고 보기 어려움. 다툴 만한 근거가 있는지 여부는 사용자의 지급거절 이유, 지급의무의 근거, 회사의 조직과 규모, 사업 목적 등 제반 정황을 고려하여 판단해야 함.
- 법원의 판단:
- 피고인은 피해근로자들과 근로계약 시 원생 신규 등록 시 인센티브를 지급하기로 약정하였고, 이는 근로의 대가로서 임금에 해당함.
- 근로계약서 특약사항란에 인센티브의 반환 및 환불에 관한 내용은 규정되어 있지 않음.
- 피고인이 인센티브를 지급하지 않은 이유는 폐업 진행 때문이라고 진술하였으나, 인센티브 반
