Day 151 - 10 Jul 95 - Page 26
1
2 Q. You were not making checks on the records, were you,
3 Mr. Stanton -- because there were crew that were working
4 more than 39 hours a week on a regular basis?
5 A. I was making checks, and there were not crew who were
6 working more than 39 hours.
7
8 Q. There were not?
9 A. There were not.
10
11 Q. Are you sure about that?
12 A. Yes.
13
14 Q. Could you get Defendants' documents, Kingfisher blue,
15 bundle 4? It is not supplementary; it is the main
16 bundle 4. If we turn to tab 117. It has just got "17" on
17 the actual tab, but it is document 117. These are some
18 documents supplied by Mr. Alimi. Did you know Mr. Alimi?
19 A. Yes -- Siamak.
20
21 Q. If we start at the third page of that. This is
22 February 1986, which is just before you arrived; that is
23 correct?
24 A. 8/2/86, and I got there in March.
25
26 Q. You arrived in March. Do you see that the hours are
27 88.84 hours?
28 A. Right, in the two weeks.
29
30 Q. In the two weeks, yes, which must be a minimum -- well, if
31 you divide that by two, it is 44 hours. It may be that one
32 week he worked 39 and the other week he worked more than
33 15, or around 15. The following payslip, 22nd February, is
34 98.94 hours ---
35 A. Right.
36
37 Q. -- for the fortnight. The next one, 8th March, is actually
38 76 hours. He may have worked for one of those weeks more
39 than 39 hours. We cannot tell from this. The following
40 one is 22nd March, 1986, and it is 82.57 hours. The one
41 after that is 5th April, 1986, and it is 93.76 hours. The
42 previous two would have covered some of the time that you
43 were there; is that correct?
44 A. Right.
45
46 Q. The next one is 73.33 hours. Again, we cannot tell whether
47 or not one of these weeks was over 39. The following one,
48 3rd May, 1986, is 86.98 hours, which is at least 43 hours a
49 week?
50 A. Right.
51
52 Q. The next one, 17th May, is 92.36 hours?
53 A. Yes, OK.
54
55 Q. So over a period of around about three months, Mr. Alimi
56 was regularly working more than 39 hours a week?
57 A. You cannot say that, as you have already said
58 yourself. One of the things I would have to do then is
59 discover why, if I was presented with this evidence now, is
60 find out why, for example, the total two weeks was 86.
