For example, There are lots of controversies between companies and employee about the ‘Welfare point’ that gave as the part of selective welfare system in public enterprise and public institutions to be included in ordinary wage or not, and as judgements of lower instance and higher instance got differed to cause confusion in the labor market. The fact of approving ‘Welfare point’ as the ordinary wage is the biggest issue about these days controversy related to ordinary wage. In this research, it analyzed ordinary wage related to welfare point in categories and make an assessments about such judicial judgements. To judge about the welfare point’s property as the ordinary wage, it is necessary to interpret the definition of wage according to the Labor standards and regulations about wage strictly and also need to interpret the wage property and ordinary wage property about the aspect of business welfare system rationally. It seems to be the appropriate way of interpreting about ordinary wage system and selective welfare system. This study hope to have rational judging principals through the judgement of the supreme court.
