DAY 213
SEMIR KHAZNA, Cross-examined:
1
2 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can we pause a moment? What is "Heathrow
3 FS"?
4 A. Sorry, "free standing". It is for the drive-thru; we
5 call it "free standing".
6
7 Q. I see. Is it possible that the people on the list, "the
8 following rate changes were proposed during the pay period"
9 are all people who are going to work at Feltham, because
10 they are very nearly all starters. Only two of those who
11 are not starters are on the basic rate of 3.15. The others
12 get with or without an increase somewhere between 3.25 is
13 the lowest, and I think the person who has gone up to 4.50,
14 gone up 50p to 4.50, is the highest and he is occupation
15 code is 7.
16 A. Occupation code 7 could be a Floor Manager.
17
18 Q. Yes. I wondered whether that was so because people who are
19 designated as Floor Managers in answer to another question
20 were 7. I cannot remember now whether it was Mr. Plaister
21 who was training squad was a 2; or can you just not help on
22 that?
23 A. Sorry, why this person got the -----
24
25 Q. I appreciate people who start probably do, pretty quickly,
26 appear on the list of people eligible for rate changes
27 because they may very well get one at the end of their
28 probationary period anyway?
29 A. That is correct.
30
31 Q. So I can see that at any given time there may be a high
32 proportion of starters but they are very nearly all
33 starters on that. Can you just not help me in relation to
34 that?
35 A. The bulk of them are -- there are about 34, as we said,
36 on 3.50, the new starters, and it looks like most of them
37 are on 3.50 when they started and they probably have not
38 even been in the restaurant for over a month, so -- or some
39 not even completed their probationary period. By that time
40 they would have been transferred over to Feltham.
41
42 Q. There we are. It is probably a complete red herring,
43 anyway. Yes?
44
45 MS. STEEL: Did you say you thought the Feltham store opened on
46 the 4th April?
47 A. I know it was a Good Friday. I think it was the 4th.
48 I do not -- but it was a Friday that we opened up; Good
49 Friday.
50
51 Q. Right. On the 24th April of these 31 people, on the
52 payroll summary that is for the 24th April to the 7th May?
53 A. Sorry, which page are you looking at?
54
55 Q. The relevant page is on page 44. Of those 34, 26 are still
56 on the Heathrow payroll. Do you know why that would be?
57 A. Which one are you referring to? I have page 44 but to
58 which page prior to that are you referring to? 34?
59
60 Q. Yes. Of the people who started who are shown on pages 34
