기간제 근로자의 고용 보장 법리 — 갱신기대권 법리의 검토 —

Abstract

There is a jurisprudence on the right to expect renewal as a legal principle that guarantees employment to fixed-term workers so that they can continue to be employed despite the expiration of the labor contract period. The jurisprudence of the right to expect renewal has greatly contributed to the employment security of fixed-term workers. This article intends to promote the proper operation of the right to expect renewal by developing a detailed interpretation of the jurisprudence of the right to expect renewal. We will focus on the judgment of whether the right to expect renewal is recognized and whether there is a reasonable reason for refusing renewal if the right to expect renewal is recognized. In addition, this article intends to clarify that the jurisprudence of the right to expect renewal may be limited in its specific interpretation and application to guarantee employment of fixed-term workers. Such limitations occur because the employer's will or discretion can be enforced by using concept tools such as trust and expectation. Since such limitations are inherent in the jurisprudence of the right to expect renewal, I would like to suggest that a new jurisprudence is needed to overcome the limitations.
