1
2 Q. That would be the case for section 3?
3 A. Yes.
4
5 Q. Section 4 is, obviously, a bit different; that is actual
6 observations of the conditions of those facilities?
7 A. That is right.
8
9 Q. Again section 5, that is done on what paperwork there is
10 about the rap sessions and crew meetings?
11 A. Yes, that is right.
12
13 Q. The same for section 6?
14 A. Yes, that is right.
15
16 Q. The handbooks and manuals, what is checked there, just that
17 the store has them available?
18 A. Yes, that they are the current versions.
19
20 Q. What is the Personnel Manual?
21 A. Its full title is something like Personnel Procedures
22 Manual, I think -- nothing more than that -- and that is
23 broadly what it is, it is -----
24
25 Q. Every store has one of those?
26 A. Yes.
27
28 Q. What is the purpose of that manual?
29 A. It gives samples of many of the forms that are
30 displayed, it gives details of guidelines about
31 disciplinary action, things like how to hold a rap session.
32
33 Q. Staffing levels?
34 A. Yes, things about recruitment, you know, a recruitment
35 calendar suggesting when they should recruit and things
36 like that. There are probably other things in it as well.
37
38 Q. Sorry?
39 A. There are other things in it as well that I have not
40 said here.
41
42 Q. What other things does it cover?
43 A. Well, what I meant was I cannot remember every detail
44 of what is in it.
45
46 Q. OK. But it is generally a guide on how to treat personnel,
47 how to deal with them, how to organise them?
48 A. When you say "how to treat personnel"?
49
50 Q. How to hire them, how to fire them, how to do the
51 performance reviews, how to organise the rap sessions?
52 A. Right. It is more the organisational part of what they
53 would do in terms of their management skills, if you like.
54 So, it is things like the forms and so on, as I have
55 described.
56
57 Q. Right.
58 A. So it is not intended to cover every aspect; it is more
59 the organisational and administrative part of those things.
