3 MR. JUSTICE BELL: He has told us that.
4
5 MR. MORRIS: Yes, but that rate, is that higher or lower -- it
6 obviously cannot be lower -- how does that relate to the

8
9 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is higher because he has told us what the
10 statutory rate is.
11
12 MR. MORRIS: OK. I was not sure if that was clear.
13 (To the witness): So that is one benefit from having an
14 agreement?
15 A. Obviously, yes.
16
17 Q. What about Saturday night and Sunday working? I do not
18 know if you mentioned that.
19 A. Well, along with the overtime pay, you get extras for
20 working in the evening after 9 o'clock, you get 6 kroner
21 50, 6.50 kroner after 9 o'clock.
22
23 Q. 6 kroner 50?
24 A. 6 kroner 50 after 9 o'clock.

28 for those who work after one o'clock, I believe.

30 Q. That is only for Saturday night?
31 A. No, no. That is every day of the week.

47 per hour, something -----
48 A. You start at about 71, usually.
