Day 207 - 23 Jan 96 - Page 18
1 "Schedule, to include Sunday work breaks due and total
2 hours for all hourly paid employees including Floor
3 Managers, nought out of 40."
4
5 Was any disciplinary action taken at that time? It seems
6 to be a continuing problem; or did the Manager give you a
7 good talking to, or what?
8 A. No, I do not recall.
9
10 Q. You do not recall that?
11 A. No.
12
13 Q. You would remember, though, if you had been given a good
14 talking to, would you?
15 A. I would remember if I was given a warning, an official
16 warning.
17
18 Q. It says there: "18 out of 40 for early/late.......(read to
19 the words)....... under-18s." So, does that indicate that
20 is a continuing problem, from what we saw before; or do you
21 remember the problem you had at the time between scheduling
22 under-18s and their correct hours? This is 18 months ago,
23 15 months ago.
24 A. Well, as I say, I did not complete the audit. It is
25 under half, just under half McDonald's marks.
26
27 Q. When an audit is done, do you not get, you know, called in
28 to the Store Manager and say: "This is what we achieved and
29 this is what let the side down, and this is outrageous,
30 something should be done", or -----
31 A. As I say, it would be individual Managers who are in
32 charge of this area of personnel, or Human Resources, their
33 area.
34
35 Q. So, it is just a question that the Store Manager chats with
36 someone from the Human Resources Department about
37 the -----
38 A. No, an individual Assistant Manager within the store
39 who would be responsible for the personnel administration.
40
41 Q. Personnel administration. Who is in charge of personnel
42 administration?
43 A. I cannot answer that, because I cannot remember who was
44 in charge of it at the time.
45
46 MR. JUSTICE BELL: To go round in a circle, what you are really
47 suggesting is that Mr. Henden was responsible for doing the
48 schedules?
49
50 MR. MORRIS: And shift running, as well.
51
52 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let us concentrate on the schedules. He ran
53 the shifts from time to time; he was the person who was
54 doing the schedules; and he got nought out of 40 on two of
55 these audits.
56
57 (To the witness) Did you know that you got nought out of
58 40 on two of them? I say you; I mean it was the store, but
59 you were the person who did the schedules, as I understand
60 it?
