                                                   KIM MOFFATT, Examined:
 
 
 
     1
     2   Q.   If you look along towards the right-hand side of the page,
     3        there are several entries relating to holidays; and the
     4        first entry in relation to -- it is just underneath the
     5        word "store", do you see, "holiday per cent used"?
     6        A.  Yes.
     7
     8   Q.   There is a number of percentages, mostly 8.33.  There is
     9        one for Mr. Gick of 9.24 per cent.  Can you tell me what
    10        the difference is between the 9.24 per cent and the 8.33?
    11        A.  Yes.  I do not know the exact timescale; but once they
    12        have worked, I think it is above five years they get 9.24.
    13
    14   Q.   Mr. Beech, as we can see, is on 8.33 per cent.  The
    15        next -----
    16
    17   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Could I just catch up, Mr. Rampton?
    18
    19   MR. RAMPTON:  I am sorry.
    20
    21   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I just wanted to see how many lines up I was
    22        when one got over to the right of the page.  I think I have
    23        it now.  It is the line with 68.17 in the last column, is
    24        it not?
    25
    26   MR. RAMPTON:  It is, yes.  That is absolutely right.
    27
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Thank you.
    29
    30   MR. RAMPTON:  That was Mr. Beech's net pay, I think.
    31
    32   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    33
    34   MR. RAMPTON:  (To the witness)  He is on 8.33 per cent, like
    35        most other people; and then there is a column headed
    36        "accrued holiday pay".  Do you see that?
    37        A.  Yes.
    38
    39   Q.   Written under that for Mr. Beech is 5.67, which I take to
    40        be pounds and pence?
    41        A.  Yes.
    42
    43   Q.   What does it mean, "accrued holiday pay"?
    44        A.  That is all done at Head Office, so I am not
    45        100 per cent sure on that one.
    46
    47   Q.   Then what does it mean in the next column, where we see the
    48        figure £59.72 pence, "holiday pay owed"?
    49        A.  That is how much he is owed at that time.
    50 
    51   Q.   Assuming for the moment that he did not leave without 
    52        notice -- and I do not know what the answer is to that -- 
    53        he would have got that, would he, as part of his leaving
    54        money?
    55        A.  If he left with -- if he worked his notice.
    56
    57   Q.   If he worked his notice?
    58        A.  Yes, he would, yes -- automatically.
    59
    60   Q.   What if he said: "I am leaving in two weeks' time"?
