Day 170 - 05 Oct 95 - Page 12


     
     1        particularly until she heard the shout, but there we
     2        are.  Insofar as there is punch at the end of the day in
     3        this, you say they were penny pinching, not paying her
     4        full-time for a few weeks until she came back.
     5
     6   MR. MORRIS (To the witness):  So, Mrs. Norris, when you -----
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I suggest you concentrate on that.  You may
     9        think you have asked quite enough about it already.
    10
    11   MR. MORRIS:  When you exercised your discretion, as you say, to
    12        pay her the money that she would otherwise have lost when
    13        she was scheduled to work I think it was for two weeks, yes
    14         ---
    15        A.  Yes.
    16
    17   Q.   -- did you say that she should be paid as a part-timer?
    18        A.  No, her scheduled hours.
    19
    20   Q.   So you said she should have been paid for a 35 hour week
    21        for two weeks?
    22        A.  She should have been paid for the time that she was
    23        scheduled.
    24
    25   Q.   Which was full-time so it was more than 35 hours?
    26
    27   MR. RAMPTON:  Wait a minute.  That is two questions.
    28
    29   MR. MORRIS:  She already said that she was scheduled.
    30
    31   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No, because I wanted to ask a question about
    32        that because I think there may be some ambiguity there.  Do
    33        you know where 22nd June fell in the schedule she was
    34        working at that time?
    35        A.  No, I do not.
    36
    37   Q.   Was the schedule done weekly or fortnightly at Epsom?
    38        A.  A week in advance.
    39
    40   Q.   A week in advance?
    41        A.  Yes.
    42
    43   Q.   What you do not know is whether she would have already
    44        known on the day of the accident what her next week's
    45        schedule was?
    46        A.  She would have known.
    47
    48   Q.   She would have done.  Do you know what day 22nd June was,
    49        what day of the week?
    50 
    51   MR. MORRIS:  We think it was in the middle of the week, some 
    52        time around Wednesday or Thursday. 
    53
    54   MS. STEEL:   It is Monday, 25th June in this .....
    55        A.  It was a Friday.
    56
    57   MS. STEEL:   In the statement I think it was a Friday.
    58
    59   THE WITNESS:  I think it was a Friday.
