25 Q. For my own information -- I am sure someone else would have
26 asked anyway -- after your deductions, what do you have in
27 your pay packet every fortnight?
28 A. Round about 290, say about 280, 290 and then if I work
29 an extra half hour or so, but say 280 to £290.

31 Q. So you earn 140 to £145 a week, do you?

46 Q. Do you get paid any extra on public holidays or an extra
47 day for day or anything like that?
48 A. We get paid time and a half for Bank Holiday.
49
50 Q. Yes. What, if any, holiday pay do you get?
51 A. I am not sure how it works out exactly. Every
52 fortnight I get about, round about £30 put on as holiday
53 pay, so every fortnight I have, sort of, earned £30 towards
54 my holiday pay, if you understand what I mean? Every pay,
55 every pay period that comes we have a list saying how much
56 you have earned and how much holiday pay you have actually
57 earned during that period. So when you talk a holiday, you
58 can claim that holiday money. It usually works out that
59 I work on average about £30 per fortnight towards my
60 holiday.
