4 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Why not ask your question anyway,
5 Mr. Morris? Do not let us get involved in another

10 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just put what you want to put and what you

13 MR. MORRIS (To the witness): When you have done seven days in a
14 row -- you said it does not happen very often, rarely -- do
15 you know what the Company policy is on people working seven
16 days in a row?
17 A. I believe you are not supposed to work more than five.
18
19 Q. Do you know what the Company rules or regulations are about
20 anyone that works on a Sunday, if they worked a Sunday
21 shift, regarding what other days they can work?
22 A. In terms of Sundays, I believe you are only allowed to

42 Q. "(A) When an hourly paid employee works more than four

46 says three out of four?
47 A. Yes.
48
49 Q. "(B) If an hourly paid employee works only four hours or
50 less on a Sunday, he/she can work every Sunday of the
51 month;
52 (C) When an hourly paid employee works on a Sunday for more
53 than four hours, he/she must receive a full day off during
54 that same week". Were you aware of that?

57 day off at some point.

59 Q. No, it does not say anything about scheduling. It is
