Day 207 - 23 Jan 96 - Page 65
1
2 Q. I mean, they have lost hours if they have worked beyond
3 their time. You, obviously, have to clock people in and
4 out with an adjustment report.
5
6 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can I just put it to you?
7 A. Yes, certainly.
8
9 Q. If someone does not clock in or does not clock out, and the
10 shift running Manager tumbles to it, they have now gone, he
11 may well, remembering that they were there, clock them in
12 or out for their scheduled start time or scheduled finish
13 time; is that right?
14 A. Yes.
15
16 Q. If the person who has been dopey enough not to clock in or
17 not clock out is then dopey enough not to check that he has
18 actually been clocked by the Manager for the time he or she
19 actually worked, if it was different to the scheduled time,
20 then they may lose some time?
21 A. It is possible, yes.
22
23 Q. I cannot see anything wrong with that.
24
25 MR. MORRIS: If the Managers are irresponsible enough to have a
26 system where they are logging people's official time of
27 work without checking it with the crew person, then faults
28 could occur, could not they?
29 A. I would not say they were irresponsible. I would
30 say -----
31
32 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I have difficulty with that, Mr. Morris.
33 Quite frankly, having had on occasions in the past,
34 admittedly many, many years now, to clock in and clock out,
35 I would think it was entirely my own responsibility, but
36 there we are.
37
38 MR. MORRIS: 383 is not signed by anybody at all. 384 has got
39 ISP user but no code. Do you know what that means?
40 A. It means that the task was actually performed on the
41 Husky system which is then cabled basically to the
42 computer, and the adjustments were performed from the
43 computer rather than actually being performed by keying
44 into the pad on the Husky.
45
46 Q. How does the computer perform its own adjustments?
47 A. It does not. You perform the adjustments via the
48 computer and it then communicates with the Husky.
49
50 Q. Right.
51 A. So you might touch in the keyboard on this and then
52 communicating that PC there.
53
54 Q. Somebody who had access to the computer would not need a
55 code to get into the Husky?
56 A. No, you need a code to get into the computer; then you
57 need a code to access the Husky, which is the same code as
58 you would use on the Husky.
59
60 Q. OK.
