[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] The Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance labor union has filed a lawsuit against the company demanding payment of overdue allowances.

On the 9th, the Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance union announced that it had filed a lawsuit at the Seoul Central District Court demanding payment of various allowances, including overtime pay, that the company has not properly paid so far.

The union claimed that when calculating various allowances, the company only reflected 'base salary', 'conversion allowance', and 'qualification allowance' in the ordinary wage, which serves as the basis, while excluding 'performance bonus', 'meal subsidy', and 'transportation expenses', resulting in underpayment of allowances.

Earlier, in June, the union had also submitted a petition containing the same content to the Seoul Employment and Labor Office.

A Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance official explained, "Regarding the submission of the petition, we are currently waiting for a response from the Labor Office."
