1 Managers. That is not the case.
2
3 Q. What is the position normally, then, in terms of who would
4 be present in a First and Second Assistant Managers on each
5 shift?
6 A. I think the sort of bottom line is to have a salaried
7 Manager present. When I was a Manager and a Supervisor,
8 the idea was to have a salaried Manager present and,
9 perhaps, two Floor Managers, one taking care of the front
10 counter and one taking care of the kitchen area; but on a
11 busy Saturday, for example, we may have all the Assistant
12 Managers, salaried Managers, working in the store, and then
13 maybe Mark would run the shift, the First Assistant would
14 take care of one area. So there would be a subdivision of
15 responsibilities consequent with the hierarchy, if you
16 like, within the restaurant.
17
18 Q. So, on a usual day, when it is not a busy Saturday, there
19 would be either the Restaurant Manager, the First Assistant
20 or the Second Assistant there too?
21 A. On that particular shift?
22
23 Q. Yes.
24 A. Yes. I mean, there would be a day shift and a night
25 shift, basically. So there would be -- the ideal situation
26 was to have a salaried Manager on the day and one on the
27 night, and then that gave the flexibility for the other
28 salaried Manager to have the day off or part of their two
29 days off or be on a course, or whatever else that is
30 required.
31
32 Q. But sometimes those Managers would not be available and so
33 the Floor Managers might have to take responsibility?
34 A. Right. So whether or not it was down to holidays or,
35 primarily sickness and holidays, when we would then look to
36 someone's, the more experienced Floor Managers to be taking
37 care of the shift.
38
39 Q. The classification of crew members into either full-time or
40 part-time, was that not done by the number of hours they
41 worked?
42 A. The number of hours they were available to work.
43
44 Q. You said it was done according to whether their sole source
45 of income from employment was with McDonald's?
46 A. Yes, but generally, in fact, in all the cases I can
47 probably recollect, everybody who required full-time
48 employment had no other form of income. So obviously their
49 only source of income would be their full-time job, whether
50 it was working for McDonald's or anybody else.
51
52 Q. But there might have been some part-time employees who,
53 their sole source of income was ----
54 A. Such as the students?
55
56 Q. Yes.
57 A. Certainly. They would probably work the weekends.
58
59 Q. But were they -- what I am getting at is would they be
60 classified as ----
