                                                   KIM MOFFATT, Examined:
 
 
 
     1
     2   Q.   How long, in your experience, does it take before somebody
     3        becomes competent to do the grill on his or her own?
     4        A.  If they are full-time, you know, it could be about a
     5        week; if they are on buns and on dressings, you could
     6        introduce them slowly in about a week.  Obviously, if they
     7        are part-time, it takes a bit longer.
     8
     9   Q.   Mr. Beech is part-time.
    10        A.  So, I would say about three or four shifts.
    11
    12   Q.   Staying with Mr. Beech's additional remarks, we stopped
    13        before at the bit about "never got a copy of the Crew
    14        Handbook".  Then it goes on -- this is on the first page
    15        and the last quarter:  "When under-17s were clocked out" --
    16        have you got that bit?
    17        A.  Yes.
    18
    19   Q.   "...early, and their clocking in adjusted one hour back,
    20        they would (to my knowledge) lose the additional unsocial
    21        hours increment they were entitled to."  Do you have any
    22        comment about that?
    23        A.  Well, obviously, I never knew of anyone clocking anyone
    24        out.  I just did not witness it, myself.
    25
    26   Q.   No, because you were not there?
    27        A.  Yes.  But I could only imagine that if someone were to
    28        work after 12 o'clock, then they would probably benefit
    29        more, because someone -----
    30
    31   MS. STEEL:  Should the witness be giving evidence which is only
    32        imagination?
    33
    34   MR. RAMPTON:  Probably not.  Can I ask you another question,
    35        Miss Moffatt:  during the time that you worked there, were
    36        you in any way concerned with the number of hours that
    37        people worked and what they were getting paid for those
    38        hours?  Were you conscious of what was being recorded on
    39        the clock card file?
    40        A.  Oh yes, yes.
    41
    42   Q.   Were you familiar with the adjustment audit reports?
    43        A.  Yes.
    44
    45   Q.   Was that part of your duty?
    46        A.  Yes; every morning I would have to check that.
    47
    48   Q.   Every morning?
    49        A.  Yes.
    50 
    51   Q.   Will you check the adjustment audit reports against the 
    52        clock card file? 
    53        A.  I would.  Basically, I would go there and check that
    54        everyone has clocked in and clocked out for a break and
    55        clocked in for the day; and any adjustment, you would have
    56        a look, and excess hours and things like that you would
    57        have a look for.
    58
    59   MS. STEEL:  Can you pause, please?  I just want to catch up.
    60        (Pause) Thank you.
