                                             KIM MOFFATT, Cross-examined:
 
 
 
     1        about the crew payroll summary -- you remember that?
     2        A.  Yes.
     3
     4   Q.   The sheets that we were looking at, everybody who is
     5        employed by the store who is hourly paid, are they all
     6        included on that list?
     7        A.  Yes.
     8
     9   Q.   Whether or not they did any work that week?
    10        A.  Yes.
    11
    12   Q.   Right.  You said this morning that if a crew member left
    13        the store, for example, a student, then when they came back
    14        they would have to rework the six months to get holiday pay
    15        entitlement?
    16        A.  Yes.
    17
    18   Q.   That is if they are taken off the books, is it?
    19        A.  Yes, that is if they are terminated.
    20
    21   Q.   Right.  How long would their break in work have to be for
    22        that to apply?
    23        A.  Well, if they actually leave and say, "I am leaving",
    24        then you terminate them.  I do not .....
    25
    26   Q.   But if they said:  "OK, it is the summer break now.  I am
    27        going back to my parents'.  I will be back in September or
    28        October", or whatever, what about then?
    29        A.  I am not aware that anyone that did that so I could not
    30        really say.
    31
    32   Q.   Are you aware of anyone doing that over the Christmas break
    33        or at any other times?
    34        A.  I mean, going -- going away for how long?
    35
    36   Q.   That is what I am asking.  How long would the break have to
    37        be before they were terminated?
    38        A.  I could not really comment.  I did not work with anyone
    39        who did that.
    40
    41   Q.   So people never said that they would be coming back at a
    42        later date at the Heathrow store?
    43        A.  Well, if they are leaving, then I could not see why
    44        they would be coming back.
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.  You are being asked, people, especially
    47        if they are students, may have a reason for going away for
    48        a period of several weeks or several months, but plan to
    49        come back.  In Ms. Steel's example, it might be that they
    50        were at college ------ 
    51        A.  But if I did not work with any, I do not really ..... 
    52 
    53   Q.   Yes, what you are saying is whether or not that actually
    54        happens, you did not experience it so you do not know what
    55        the procedure would be?
    56        A.  No.  I know that if ------
    57
    58   Q.   Is that what you are saying?
    59        A.  Yes.
