3 MR. MORRIS: Can you stop it, please? Why did the people who
4 work at the fat filtering have to wear visors and gloves?
5 A. To protect from touching the hot equipment. That is
6 really hot, and the filter, and they are expected to wear
7 it. It is hot.
8
9 Q. But why would they touch it with their face? I know it is
10 a daft question, but -----
11
12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is. I will not say daft, but it is
13 obvious, is it not? You do not have to ask that.
14
15 MR. MORRIS: Because it splashes up, and they have to wear
16 gloves and visors?
17 A. It does not splash; it goes straight down. But that is
18 to protect, just in case.
19
20 MR. JUSTICE BELL: In case there is on occasional splash; is
21 that what you mean?
22 A. That is correct, sir.

28 Q. But for the filming, did you get in a uniform from another

33 worn at the store?

40 MR. MORRIS: Just stop there -- sorry. It said Managers do not
41 earn overtime. Do they get paid per hour if they work over
42 40 hours, or do they just get a standard salary?
43 A. The standard salary in law came in -- according to the
44 day and the time you get paid, your working day, if you are
45 not regular, you get paid regular (?); if you work
46 evenings, you get evening rates; if you work after 7, you
47 get premium.
48
49 Q. That is for salaried managers?
50 A. For salaried managers, sorry, yes. You do get salary;
51 you do not get overtime.
52
53 Q. So you get a standard yearly salary and, within that, if
54 your hours fluctuate, you still get the same salary per
55 year?
56 A. The hours does not fluctuate. It is regular. They are
57 schedule according to the guidelines. So it does not
58 fluctuate.
