A court ruling found it justified to fire a bank employee who engaged in private financial transactions with customers and even habitually gambled.
The Seoul Administrative Court recently ruled against the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed by a commercial bank employee A against the chairman of the National Labor Relations Commission to cancel a retrial of unfair dismissal relief.
The court explained the reason for the ruling, saying that the bank stipulates that executives and employees should not make financial transactions with job-related persons, and that gambling itself is immoral even if it did not interfere with work.
Mr. A was dismissed from the bank two years ago for making financial transactions with customers personally and gambling habitually.
Mr. A claimed unfair dismissal from the company’s High Personnel Committee, the local labor committee, and the Central labor committee, but when it was not accepted, he filed a lawsuit.
Mr. A claimed that he made a financial transaction with a person who he had made friends with for work to pay for living expenses, and that gambling was not likely to be blamed because he only played a type of PC game after work hours.
