The client was a key employee who worked for three years as a development director at a software development company in Seoul. Throughout the employment period, the client suffered from chronic wage arrears at the company, and the unstable situation continued, with only portions of salary sometimes being paid. The defendant, the CEO, even demanded that part of the salary already paid be returned on the excuse that the company was struggling, promised to return it whenever later requested, and took KRW 8,000,000. In addition, the CEO borrowed money from the client for personal purposes and failed to repay it by the time the client left the company.

Despite a petition to the labor office, the defendant deliberately avoided attendance and responsibility. The client therefore retained Law Firm Taelim to obtain practical relief.

Law Firm Taelim recognized that the defendant was intentionally avoiding responsibility and presented logical evidence while applying pressure through civil litigation. Taelim reviewed all irregular wage payments over the client??s three-year employment period and calculated the exact amount of unpaid wages and severance pay. Taelim proved that the KRW 8,000,000 taken under the pretext of company hardship was not a gift, but a temporary deposit premised on later return, emphasizing the obligation to repay.

Taelim pursued wage claims against the corporate defendant and loan claims against the CEO personally at the same time, constructing a tight legal net so that the defendants could not evade responsibility. Under pressure from possible criminal punishment and the burden of civil litigation, Taelim secured mediation on favorable terms so that the client could obtain actual cash recovery as quickly as possible.

The court accepted the evidence and reasoning presented by Law Firm Taelim and issued a mediation decision in line with granting the plaintiff??s claims. Through this, the client was able to recover not only unpaid wages, but also personal money lent to the CEO and salary that had been returned.

This case resolved a dispute that could have been prolonged by the employer??s intentional nonappearance and avoidance of responsibility through Taelim??s prompt civil response. It is significant because Taelim clarified a complex monetary relationship involving unpaid wages, salary return demands, and personal loans, helping the client receive full compensation for three years of dedicated work. Taelim will continue to respond firmly and precisely to unfair conduct that infringes workers?? rightful interests.
