Day 171 - 11 Oct 95 - Page 13


     
     1        say I do not think they are relevant and do not want to see
     2        them, especially if I hear that the last one you have does
     3        not go into the busiest summer season, which is May 1994.
     4
     5   MR. RAMPTON:  I have not looked; we have asked them to look, so
     6        I do not know the answer.
     7
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL: I merely mention it now in case you want to
     9        put an enquiry in motion straightaway.
    10
    11   MR. RAMPTON:  Mrs. Brinley-Codd will try.
    12
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What, if anything, did you say about 10?
    14
    15   MR. RAMPTON:  10 I dealt with in some detail.  It is a
    16        combination of -- I ignore 8 because, as I said to
    17        your Lordship, 8 does not add any information to 10 beyond
    18        what people were paid, and pay is not an issue so far as
    19        Mr. Logan's evidence is concerned; therefore, we ignored 8
    20        when we -----
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   You described them as clock card sheets.
    23
    24   MR. RAMPTON:  They are clock card sheets.
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  They were described as just an audit report.
    27
    28   MR. RAMPTON:  No.  There are two different things, my Lord.  Can
    29        I explain?  You have the written schedule, that is
    30        number 1; and then the clock card sheets record every
    31        clocking in and out of the employees who actually worked at
    32        the store during every day of the month; and there are two
    33        to three sheets for every day of the month.
    34
    35   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Pause a moment.  Yes.
    36
    37   MR. RAMPTON:  It happens from time to time that an employee
    38        forgets to clock on again, or whatever, so that his hours
    39        are wrongly recorded initially by the computer in the
    40        computer clock card sheets.  When that happens, as
    41        Mr. Richards told your Lordship, an adjustment is made by a
    42        manager or by the ISP operator, sometimes.  Two things
    43        happen as a consequence of that:  the adjustment to the
    44        data is recorded on a separate sheet, which is called an
    45        adjustment sheet or an adjustment audit sheet.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Adjustment audit report.
    48
    49   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes.  I have not got one here.
    50 
    51   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is what I have put down in my note. 
    52 
    53   MR. RAMPTON:  It is a separate document.  Each employee is
    54        identified, where an adjustment has been made, by a code on
    55        that sheet.  But you can see exactly has happened:  the old
    56        data are recorded and alongside them the new data.  Then,
    57        also, an asterisk is placed by the computer on the clock
    58        card sheets showing where the adjustment has been made.
    59        So, in a sense, the adjustment sheets are redundant but, as
    60        we have them, your Lordship may like to see them.
