Day 121 - 04 May 95 - Page 06
1 A. No. The legal requirement is three years. Jill Bond
2 -- you can obviously ask Jill Bond when she comes -- now
3 makes this clear in her presentations to the various
4 courses she lectures on, and that instruction, I believe,
5 is now presented in the inside front leaf of the accident
6 book.
7
8 Q. To actually get rid of the accident book after three years?
9 A. Not get rid of it, but it must be kept for three years
10 from the last date. As I say, they can keep them for as
11 long as they have got storage room, but that is the legal
12 requirement.
13
14 Q. On page 6 of his statement he looks at another Defendants'
15 witness, Omid Shaffibeck, and under point 14 with regard to
16 overtime rates, He said it was correct that there is no
17 overtime rate?
18 A. Yes.
19
20 Q. However McDonald's pay premium rates for employees who work
21 for certain hours?
22 A. Yes.
23
24 Q. There is no indication there about your claim that
25 supervisory grades would do some kind of individual
26 calculation per crew member to find out if anybody had not
27 been getting their entitlement. You said before that has
28 never been the subject of any memo, or written instruction
29 or training paragraph or something?
30 A. Sorry?
31
32 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What he said was he was not aware. He could
33 not refer us to one. He did not exclude the possibility,
34 but he could not draw your attention, Mr. Nicholson could
35 not draw your attention to one.
36
37 MR. MORRIS (To the witness): Has anybody ever asked you about
38 any supervisory grades, ever asked you about the problems
39 or differences they were having with checking individual
40 crew persons' hours and wage rates to check if they were
41 not getting their full overtime compliment? Has anyone
42 expressed to you any problems about this system or concerns
43 or difficulties?
44 A. Not that I can remember.
45
46 Q. It has not come up as a subject for conversation?
47 A. No, I cannot -- it may have done but I cannot bring it
48 to my mind at the present moment.
49
50 Q. You cannot remember, can you, Mr. Nicholson, because it in
51 fact does not happen, does it?
52 A. That does not happen?
53
54 Q. This thing which you made up before about supervisors
55 checking individual crew records to find out if their hours
56 and their remuneration equalled the equivalent of what
57 would be overtime if they worked over 39 hours?
58 A. Right, then the answer to that is, yes, they do.

60 MR. RAMPTON: I am just looking at the transcript, Mr. Morris
