1 (48) that could be worked by young persons is now
abolished, the company policy of a maximum number of 39
2 hours still applies to all employees", is that correct?
A. That is what it says, yes.
3
Q. This was a memo from the very top yes to all executive
4 vice president?
A. It was from Sid Nicholson who was Carmel's boss, I
5 believe, back in that time frame to the officers of the
company department heads, market managers, operation
6 staff, right down to restaurant managers, copying myself
and the human resources field people, yes.
7
Q. If someone breaks that policy, is that policy monitored?
8 A. The 39 hours a week?
9 Q. Yes?
A. I believe it is, yes, via the payroll system.
10
11 Q. If we go to document No. 42, the one before that one,
then we have a chart here, what is the name of this
12 document? Is it a time record or clock card?
A. It says time record at the top. It is not something I
13 have dealt with in many, many years or ever in this form,
but OK.
14
Q. This was for a time, 1987 -- this is during the
15 circulation of the alleged, circulation of the fact sheet
and I cannot remember whether this has been admitted or
16 not -- as it says at the top, "Name. Under 18s" so these
are under 18 year olds on the time record, as far as we
17 know, yes?
A. Yes, it is. I do not know whether it is a restaurant
18 or a training document or what it is. It is -- I do not
see a name designating it to a store. I know that under
19 18s at a moment in time had to be shown separately on
payroll records. They had to be highlighted. I would
20 guess this is either an example of how to do it, or it is
an example of what someone duly did in a store, but I
21 cannot tell from this what it is.
22 Q. I cannot remember the name of the store. It is disclosed
by one of our witnesses.

MR. JUSTICE BELL: What do you want to put to Mr. Preston about
24 it?
25 MR. MORRIS: We have alleged it shows various breaches,
breaches of the employment regulations, for example. I
26 will give you one example: N Harrison.
27 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just pause a minute. Mr. Harrison -- that
is your case?
28
MR. MORRIS: Yes.
29
MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just tell me what you want to put to Mr.
30 Preston.
