핵심 쟁점, 법리 및 법원의 판단
근로기준법상 '사용자'의 범위 및 명목상 대표이사의 책임 여부
- 근로기준법 제109조 제1항, 제43조 위반죄의 주체는 '사용자'이며, 근로기준법 제2조는 '사용자'를 '사업주 또는 사업 경영 담당자, 그 밖에 근로자에 관한 사항에 대하여 사업주를 위하여 행위하는 자'로 규정함.
- '사업 경영 담당자'는 사업경영 일반에 관하여 책임을 지는 자로서 사업주로부터 사업경영의 전부 또는 일부에 대하여 포괄적인 위임을 받고 대외적으로 사업을 대표하거나 대리하는 자를 의미함.
- 근로기준법의 실효성 확보를 위해 사업 경영 담당자는 원칙적으로 사업경영 일반에 관하여 권한과 책임을 부담하는 자로서 관계 법규에 의하여 제도적으로 근로기준법의 각 조항을 이행할 권한과 책임이 부여되었다면 이에 해당하며, 반드시 현실적으로 권한을 행사해야만 하는 것은 아님.
- 다만, 탈법적인 목적을 위하여 특정인을 명목상으로만 대표이사로 등기하고 회사의 모든 업무집행에서 배제하여 실질적으로 아무런 업무를 집행하지 아니하는 경우, 그 대표이사는 사업 경영 담당자인 사용자라고 볼 수 없음.
