Scenario
You are Sam Barnes, and you started working as Financial Accounts Clerk for Debson’s Drinks on 8 June 2010. Today’s date is 2 July 2010.

Your normal working week is 09:00 to 17:00, and you are required to take one hour for lunch.
During the busy weeks of the financial year end everyone is expected to stay longer to complete work, although the offices are only open between 08:00 and 18:00.
Please refer to the organisation chart for Debson’s Drinks’ accounts department (see next page).
Your role is primarily to assist with maintaining the nominal ledger, and most of your tasks are routine.

As a result any of these sections might ask you to complete tasks.

To monitor this she has asked you to keep your work request forms and work plans so you can review them with her at your three month review meeting.
