노동청 진정 사건, 사업주가 반드시 알아야 하는 대응방법(억울한 사업주만 보세요.)

If you are an unfair business owner reported to the Ministry of Labor, what should you do first? [ Request Consultation with Attorney Go Chae-kyung: 📞 010-5104-0510 ] While running a business, sales, marketing, finance, taxes, and lease issues are important, the problem that many business owners struggle with the most is ultimately people issues. In particular, you may feel completely at a loss if you suddenly receive a call from the Ministry of Labor regarding unpaid severance pay, wage arrears, unguaranteed annual leave or vacation, workplace harassment, or disputes over employee status. “You must come in for an investigation.” “Please submit the documents.” “The other party claims they have not received their severance pay.” However, in reality, the other party may not have been an employee but a business partner or freelancer, or you may be unfairly reported to the Ministry of Labor even though you have already paid all the compensation. In such situations, responding emotionally or attending the investigation without any preparation can actually lead to making statements that are disadvantageous to you. In this video, we will explain the response methods that business owners who have been unfairly reported to the Ministry of Labor must know. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 First, you must verify the contents of the complaint. It is important to adjust the Ministry of Labor investigation schedule if possible and to first confirm the details of the complaint filed by the other party through a request for information disclosure. You must know what claims the other party is making to determine what materials to prepare, what facts to substantiate, and to formulate a response strategy. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 Second, you must gather evidence to refute false claims. If the issue of employee status is at stake, simply stating that "a freelance contract exists" may not be sufficient. Specific data is required regarding actual freedom of commuting, the possibility of holding concurrent positions, registration as a sole proprietor, work performance methods, supervisory relationships, and the likelihood of leaving the workplace. If the dispute involves unpaid wages or severance pay, you must refute the claims using objective evidence such as wage payment statements, bank transfer records, and settlement data. If the allegations of workplace harassment are untrue, KakaoTalk messages, audio recordings, and statements of fact from people around you can also serve as important evidence. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 Third, cases handled by the Ministry of Labor are also legal disputes. Handling cases with the Ministry of Labor is not merely a matter of responding to a civil complaint. For the employer, it is a significant legal dispute that can lead to criminal penalties, fines, and monetary payment issues. A lawyer can assist the employer from the very beginning of the case by identifying the opposing party's claims, submitting legally accurate legal opinions, and ensuring that no unfair leading questions or attempts at coercion occur during the investigation process. For business owners, time is money. It is crucial to respond accurately from the start, rather than suffering through a prolonged Ministry of Labor case and having your energy drained. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Attorney Ko Chae-kyung has actually handled cases with the Ministry of Labor for various business owners, including sole proprietors, academies, hospitals, and wedding companies. Among these cases, there is one where a business owner faced as many as 12 allegations; however, 10 of these charges were determined not to be violations of the law, and the remaining 2 charges resulted in a suspended indictment at the prosecution stage. Currently, she is also handling a case regarding a false accusation complaint filed by an opposing party. Just because a business owner has been reported to the Ministry of Labor does not automatically mean they are at fault. The important thing is to accurately grasp the opposing party's claims and calmly refute them based on evidence. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📞 Consultation Inquiries Attorney Ko Chae-kyung 010-5104-0510 📌 You can also find detailed case examples on Attorney Ko Chae-kyung's blog. https://blog.naver.com/kcklaw02/22395...
