Day 206 - 22 Jan 96 - Page 66
1 was referring to there?
2 A. I do not see as Danny could have inadequate time off
3 between shifts because normally he would work a Friday and
4 a Saturday evening, and if you start at 4 o'clock and you
5 start at 4 o'clock the next day, I would make that a 24
6 hour period.
7
8 Q. Did he sometimes come in on a Saturday morning to do a
9 shift?
10 A. If he did, we would start, say, 11.7 or a 12.8 and the
11 close normally finishes around about 1 o'clock or so.
12
13 Q. "Inadequate break lengths, if any at all". You said with
14 mike Logan that if he went to the Managers' room -- this is
15 on page 7 of your statement -- he would take at least half
16 an hour. Do you think that Danny Olive had a problem with
17 the length of breaks he was able to take?
18 A. I did not ever know of any time that he did not, or he
19 did not report to me that he did not have a -- an
20 inadequate break.
21
22 Q. Floor Managers do not clock in and out, do they, for
23 breaks?
24 A. They did not at that period, but they do now. They do
25 record breaks.
26
27 Q. So, is it fair to say that you would not really know about
28 whether he was getting adequate breaks or not?
29 A. I would not be able to see from the clock card report
30 whether -- how long a break he had had, but at the same
31 time he did not report anything to me.
32
33 Q. "No reward scheme for Floor Managers and limited
34 recognition"; do you know what he means by that?
35 A. In terms of specific things, Floor Managers, there are
36 reward schemes that are applied to the hourly paid staff in
37 general, be they bonuses applied by an individual Manager
38 or aspects of gift vouchers or, like, given out to crew
39 members for areas of recognition.
40
41 Q. They are occasional rewards, are they not?
42 A. They are, yes, they are occasional rewards. They are
43 typically handed out on a weekly basis.
44
45 Q. But some of them would not get that every week, would they?
46 Maybe once a year they would get a special bonus or
47 something?
48 A. It depends on the individual crew member and the
49 individuals -- or the individual member of staff.
50
51 Q. I think the point is that they were in the discretion of
52 management, yes?
53 A. They were at the discretion of management, yes.
54
55 Q. There was no guaranteed reward scheme for Floor Managers
56 for the position they were taking?
57 A. There is no bonus scheme for Floor Managers or .....
58
59 Q. "Unlimited job description"; Floor Managers, did they still
60 have to do the range of tasks that crew people, ordinary
