Abstract

This paper compares the realities of the salary Peak Policy's status and management processes in Korea and Japan, with the aim of determining the development direction for Korea's salary Peak Policy's. Unlike Japan, which successfully achieved close cooperation between government, firms and workers in implementing the Retirement Age Extension Type salary Peak Policy, Korea experienced many problems due to lack of preparation. In order to rationally develop the salary Peak Policy, the government, firms, and workers must cooperate to increase the policy's efficiency via the following steps. First, gradually increase the proportion of retirement age extension. Second, career development that takes into account the various employment types, flexible working hours and aged workers. Third, development of training programs for senior citizen workers, as well as increasing support for changing of jobs and startups. Fourth, expansion of re-employment after retirement age and ways to make use of the skilled labor. Fifth, increasing work efficiency through bonuses and work evaluation that is specialized for aged workers. This paper argues that such measures are necessary for the co-existence of firms and workers, as well as for improving employment stability and labor market flexibility.

본 논문은 한국과 일본의 임금피크제 도입 상황과 운영 방식, 실상에 대해 비교 고찰하고, 그를 통해 한국 임금피크제의 발전 방향을 모색하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 한국과 일본은 임금피크제를 비슷한 시기에 도입했지만, 제도에 대한 인식과 법적 제도적 차이 등으로 인해 상이하게 운영되었다. 일본은 고령화 문제를 국가적으로 해결하기 위해 정부, 기업, 근로자들이 협력해서 정년연장형 임금피크제를 도입하였다. 이 과정에서 충분한 준비와 효율성 제고 노력, 즉 고령 인력의 합리적 재배치와 활용, 고령에 적합한 업무 개발 등을 통해 기업과 근로자 모두가 만족하는 제도를 정착시켰다. 반면 한국에서는 명예퇴직이 빈번하던 시점에서 근로자는 정년 보장을 원하고, 기업은 인건비를 절감하려는 상이한 목적 하에, 법적 제도적 지원이나 안전장치도 없고 준비도 불충분한 채, 정년보장형 임금피크제를 도입한 결과, 많은 불만족과 문제점을 드러내었다. 이를 해결하면서 임금피크제를 보다 합리적으로 발달시키려면 정부, 기업, 근로자들이 협력하여 내용적, 제도적 효율성을 개선해야 한다. 이를 위해 (1)정년 연장제의 비중을 단계적으로 늘려가는 방안, (2)다양한 고용 형태, 유연 근무제, 고령 인력에 최적화된 직무 개발 방안, (3)고령 인력에 특화된 교육 훈련 프로그램 제공과 전직, 이직, 창업 지원 강화, (4)정년 후 재고용 확대, 숙련된 업무 노하우 활용 방안 모색, (5)고령 인력에 대한 업적 평가와 성과급 지급을 통해 업무 효율성을 제고하는 방안 등을 적극적으로 검토 모색할 필요가 있다. 이같은 개선 작업을 통해 기업과 근로자가 상생하고, 사회적으로는 고용 안정화 및 노동 시장 유연성 제고 등을 달성할 수 있도록 노력해야 할 것이다.
