PANews reported on January 8 that according to Finomy, a civil lawsuit has been launched with about 20 employees of Korean game company WeMade regarding the payment of performance bonuses for its virtual asset WEMIX (WEMIX). The Civil 42 Division of the Seoul Central District Court has held the first debate preparation meeting for the case. The plaintiffs are former and current employees of WeMadeTree, a former subsidiary of WeMade. They claim to have signed a compensation agreement for the development of WEMIX with the company and provided an email from the company promising compensation as evidence. However, WeMade denied the existence of any verbal agreement, only admitting that it had notified employees about the basic compensation plan, and pointed out that because the legal regulations and accounting treatment standards for virtual assets have not yet been clarified, the company faces accounting uncertainties and the risk of criminal breach of trust by management, and therefore failed to directly sign a compensation contract.
The trial department pointed out that the plaintiff's defect was the lack of a written contract, but at the same time believed that it would be unreasonable for the defendant to refuse to pay any compensation for this reason. The next debate in the case is scheduled for the morning of March 21. WeMade said that it is willing to negotiate with the company members to formulate a specific compensation plan contract.
