     1        A.  They do not.
     2
     3   Q.   So you do not have a record of the exact numbers of hours
     4        that salaried people would have worked?
     5        A.  No, I do not keep records.
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Just so I understand it, he would be entitled
     8        to go at the end of his eight hour shift?
     9        A.  Yes, sir.
    10
    11   Q.   Equally, if he wanted to stay, if he was so conscientious
    12        or, on the other hand, so obsessive about his work, he
    13        could stay on as long as he wanted to, to do it to his own
    14        satisfaction?
    15        A.  That is true, sir.
    16
    17   MR. MORRIS:  Or if it was necessary for him to stay on because
    18        he did not have enough staff or the work needed to be done,
    19        to count up the waste at night, and he was the one that was
    20        available, that kind of thing?
         A.  The Shift Manager is taking over from him exactly in
    22        time, so there is no reason for him to stay to do the
    23        actual scheduled day's job.  You see, every Shift Manager
    24        works eight hours on the floor.  After that, they are
    25        entitled to go if they do wish.  If they want to stay
    26        behind and do some paperwork, it is up to them, but it is
    27        not essential for them to stay.
    28
    29   Q.   But the paperwork itself is essential and somebody has to
    30        do it?
    31        A.  Well, it does not have to be done on that day,
    32
    33   Q.   But it has to be done some time?
    34        A.  Allocated times are always there one day a week for
    35        every Shift Manager.
    36
    37   Q.   What I am saying is that Michael Metcalfe was not inventing
    38        a load of paperwork just for the fun of it?
    39        A.  No, he was not.
    40
    Q.   He was doing necessary work?
    42        A.  Yes.  He did wish to stay, and he did.
    43
    44   Q.   Right.  So, if he had not done that necessary work, if he,
    45        well -----
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I do not think Miss Anteneh is accepting that
    48        he needed to stay more than eight hours to do the necessary
    49        work, so -----
    50 
    51   MR. MORRIS:  No, but somebody had to do the necessary work 
    52        and ----- 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  But I do not think she is accepting
    55        that somebody could not do it in their normal scheduled
    56        shift, if the work was spread.  So if you are suggesting
    57        that it would need someone or some people to work more than
    58        their scheduled shifts to complete the paperwork, put it to
    59        her directly.
