What should I do if I receive a wage non-payment report?

Hello.

Wage non-payment reports are divided into reporting to the local employment and labor office and being sued in civil court.

In the situation you asked about, since you cannot know which of the two methods the workers will choose, it is good to keep both cases in mind.

First, when reporting to the local labor office, the worker who has not received wages files a complaint or files a criminal complaint with the local employment and labor office having jurisdiction over the location of the business and a payment instruction is issued.

If this is not implemented, it can lead to a criminal complaint and you may receive criminal punishment, so caution is needed.

And in the case of going through civil procedures, the worker who has not received wages can apply for provisional attachment and file a payment order application.

If the wage non-payment report is not resolved at this stage, it can lead to litigation through small claims trial or civil trial procedures.

If you lose the lawsuit and a payment order is issued, compulsory execution such as attachment may follow.

When you receive a wage non-payment report, various legal procedures may follow, so it is good to seek advice from an attorney with knowledge in the relevant field.
