Day 133 - 12 Jun 95 - Page 23
1 A. I believe so. The top is cut off on my copy.
2
3 Q. My question is this: Have you looked to see whether there
4 is any earlier document of a similar type?
5 A. Yes, and there is not. It was not produced in
6 that -----
7
8 Q. Sometimes I cannot hear. It is very bad acoustics in
9 here. I am a bit deaf anyway and you speak quite quietly.
10 Can you shout at me a bit, please?
11 A. I am sorry, I have forgotten the question. It was
12 about when -----
13
14 Q. Whether there is in any earlier document like this which
15 still exists?
16 A. No, there is not, no. I do not think there ever was
17 one, to be honest.
18
19 Q. I see. Again let me ask you, if I may, how is this
20 information obtained? What is the method?
21 A. Do you mean, how does it appear on this table?
22
23 Q. No, no, I want to know where the original data, how they
24 are collected?
25 A. Right. The Manager inputs the code, the number, into
26 the computer, into the payroll system, when terminating the
27 person's employment record on the computer.
28
29 Q. If we keep, if we need to, the code in one hand and the
30 table in the other, we can perhaps understand what this
31 document is telling us. The first item is "return to
32 school or college", yes?
33 A. Yes.
34
35 Q. That is given as a reason in nearly 23 per cent of the
36 cases of people leaving?
37 A. Yes.
38
39 Q. Is that right?
40 A. Yes.
41
42 Q. "Medical", that is insignificant. "Crew" -- is that crew
43 to salaried position within the Company?
44 A. Yes.
45
46 Q. That is under 1 per cent. Then (4) is "Personal". That is
47 a big percentage, nearly 23 per cent. Then there is
48 "Retirement", "End of temporary employment mutually
49 agreed", "Transferred out of the United Kingdom", No. 9?
50 A. Yes.
51
52 Q. That is to a McDonald's post somewhere outside the UK?
53 A. Yes, there would not be so many in the hourly paid.
54
55 Q. Sorry?
56 A. There would not be lots of those in the hourly paid.
57
58 Q. No, but there is just over 2 per cent of that. Then there
59 is a another big category (11) "Without notice", which is
60 just over 19 per cent.
