A former director of legal affairs at a major pharmaceutical company, Ryukakusan, claimed that he was dismissed after investigating the president's sexual harassment, and the company asked the former director to cancel the dismissal. A settlement was reached by paying a settlement fee of 60 million yen.
A woman who was in charge of legal affairs at a major pharmaceutical company "Ryukakusan" headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, conducted an investigation based on information that the president had sexually harassed her at a year-end party three years ago. However, he was sued by the company for the cancellation of the dismissal, alleging that he was unfairly dismissed.
The company claimed in the trial that "there was no sexual harassment."
According to the lawyer of the former manager in this court, the company will pay a settlement fee of 60 million yen to the former manager, and the former manager will retire after mutual agreement, etc. It means that a settlement has been reached in court.
A former manager's lawyer said, "The amount of the settlement money is almost the same as the salary when the former manager worked until retirement age, and we assume that the dismissal is invalid."
On the other hand, Ryukakusan commented, "Our claim has not changed consistently from before, but we have agreed to this settlement in consideration of various matters. We will continue to strive for thorough compliance." ..
