Firstly if they were having their employment terminated then they would receive adequate compensation. They may have had their working hours or working practices altered and this was to ensure that they didn't lose any pay because of it. It really mean exactly what it says. regards JUDY ELKINGTON [W.R.Yorkshire, England] www.elkingtonfamily.com [email protected] www.one-name.org/profiles/elkington.html
