There are not many cases in which apartment security works, instead of parking and receiving parcels in the middle of the night. In the case of security guards, a court ruling that residents must pay additional wages has been issued.

If the rest is not properly guaranteed, it should be regarded as working that much.

Kim Mo and others, who worked as security guards in an apartment complex in Gangnam, Seoul, filed a lawsuit against the residents' representative meeting in 2017 asking for the additional wages for three years.



This was the reason for working without a break, such as picking up packages or taking the place of parking for 6 hours a day, which was set as a break.

However, the judgment of the second trial court, which paid attention to the working environment, was different.



Security guards who had no place to rest were forced to stay at a 1-pyeong guard post for 24 hours and refused to request a valet parking even during breaks, so they decided to pay 730 million won in unpaid wages.

The ruling, which assessed the labor value of a security guard's customary overtime work, is expected to affect similar lawsuits.
