[Breaking News] Supreme Court: "Daily Workers' Monthly Working Days Cannot Exceed 20 Days"

The Supreme Court has ruled that it is difficult to recognize the "monthly working days of urban daily workers," which serves as the standard for calculating damages when a worker suffers a work-related injury, as exceeding 20 days.

On the 25th, the Supreme Court's 2nd Division (Presiding Justice Lee Dong-won) overturned and remanded the lower court ruling that recognized 22 working days per month in the appeal trial of a subrogation claim lawsuit filed by the Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service against Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, the insurer of the crane that caused the accident, after the Service paid suspension benefits to a daily worker who suffered a work-related injury, stating that "it is difficult to recognize the monthly working days of urban daily workers as exceeding 20 days."
