     1        quite ------
     2
     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
     7        actual employment statute ------
     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.
    25
    26   Q.   Sorry, is that each hour?
    27        A.  Each hour, yes, and there is also a night-time extra
    28        for those who work after one o'clock, I believe.
    29
    30   Q.   That is only for Saturday night?
    31        A.  No, no.  That is every day of the week.
    32
    33   Q.   Right.
    34        A.  In addition to that, there is 16.50 kroner extra for
    35        working after 4 on Saturday evening and the whole of
    36        Sunday.
    37
    38   Q.   That is per hour, 16.50 per hour bonus?
    39        A.  Yes.
    40
    41   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  After 1 a.m., what is the bonus after that,
    42        or the additional payment?  Do you know?  If you do not
    43        know -----
    44        A.  It went up.  It is about 12 or 13 kroner.
    45
    46   MR. MORRIS:  That is on top of the basic wage of how much
    47        per hour, something -----
    48        A.  You start at about 71, usually.
    49
    50   MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do you know what the exchange rate is at the 
    51        moment, for sterling? 
    52        A.  Usually, it is about 11 or 12, but I am not quite 
    53        sure.  It would not be far off.
    54
    55   MR. MORRIS:  I think we will be finished by lunch, if that is an
    56        encouragement.
    57
    58        (To the witness): Just one question before I move on to
    59        something.  The basic rate at McDonald's -- when you
    60        translated that letter for us, it said something about --
