Case Overview

- Case Details
-
The bankruptcy trustee, Company A, revised the employment rules to introduce a wage peak system, which resulted in a reduction of wages for the bankruptcy estate assistants.
According to the revised rules, the employment age for workers was extended from 58 to 60 years. However, after reaching the age of 58, the wage peak system would be applied, resulting in lower wages.
This revised employment rule applied to the bankruptcy estate assistants who reached the age of 58, and those adversely affected sought legal assistance from Decent Law Firm, which has attorneys with expertise in labor law.
Decent's Strategy
Additionally, he highlighted that the wage peak system could not be applied to short-term contract workers who entered into employment contracts on a six-month basis and asserted that these workers were not new employees who accepted the new working conditions.
