2 MR. MORRIS: Right.

4 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes.

6 MR. MORRIS: (To the witness) Mr. Logan, do you know if that
7 kind of audit would be done in the audits done by
8 Head Office as well as those that are supplied to Head
9 Office from the store?
10 A. What do you mean, the breaks checklist?
11
12 Q. That kind of thing, yes.
13 A. I do not know about the out of store audits, whether
14 they would be done. They do not ever seem to show up, so
15 I assume -----
16
17 Q. If you look at page 179 -- I think we looked at this
18 before, so I will not labour the point -- the score for
19 schedules on page 179, under "hours of work regulations"
20 was nought out of 30; and I believe we looked at it
21 before. It was nought out of 40 on a different audit. But
22 you do not know how they would have scored that, or what
23 kind of checks they would have done?
24 A. No, I cannot say exactly. So it is best not to say at
25 all.
26
27 Q. Do you know anyone that was ever disciplined for any
28 scheduling infringements of policy or -----
29 A. They may have been, but I never saw anybody
30 disciplined. They were disciplined if labour was not to
31 the matrix, if the schedule -- you had a matrix, a Matrix 1
32 which somebody wrote out potential volumes, predicted
33 volumes, and then you would have a Matrix 2, where you
34 would work out the crew you needed; and if that did not add
35 to the schedule and somebody checked that then, yes, they
36 would be disciplined, I think, because they would be doing
37 the schedule inaccurately. But I have never known them to
38 be disciplined for this thing to include Sunday works
39 breaks due, total hours.
40
41 Q. It is not strictly the schedule, is it, but it is the
42 actual reality of what happened?
43 A. I assume when it says "total hours for all hourly paid
44 employees", you would have to write that on the schedules.
45 But that was never written on the schedule. I do not think
46 I ever saw it written on the schedule. It may not have to
47 be written on the schedule, but if it says it there
48 I assume it would have to be on there.
49
50 Q. Under the schedule, it says "breaks taken, 25 out of 30",
51 but you do not know how that was audited or whether it was
52 audited?
53 A. No.
54
55 Q. I do not think I want to deal with any more from the
56 audits.
57 A. There is a comment here about -- I am not sure I can
58 say that now -- the adjustment audit reports.
59
60 Q. We have dealt with that, it was raised before unless you
