EEO
In order to provide equal
employment and advancement opportunities to all individuals, employment
decisions will be based on merit, qualifications, and abilities. Except where
required or permitted by law, employment practices will not be influenced or
affected by an applicant's or employee's race, color, religion, age, sex,
national origin, disability, veteran’s status, sexual orientation, or any other
characteristic protected by law. We will make reasonable accommodations
for qualified individuals with known disabilities unless doing so would result
in an undue hardship. This policy governs all aspects of employment, including
selection, job assignment, compensation, discipline, termination, and access to
benefits and training. Any employees with questions or concerns about any
type of discrimination in the workplace are encouraged to bring these issues to
the attention of their immediate supervisor. Employees can raise concerns and
make reports without fear of reprisal. Anyone found to be engaging in any type
of unlawful discrimination will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and
including termination of employment.
Smoking Policy
In
keeping with our intent to provide a safe and healthful work environment, smoking
in the workplace and on company vessels is discouraged. Smoking is prohibited
in all company offices and company vehicles. Employees are asked to respect
these non-smoking designations. This policy applies equally to all employees,
customers, and visitors. Employees while onboard company vessels are allowed to
smoke, but with restrictions that ensure a safe work environment and respect for
non-smokers. Absolutely no smoking is allowed in sleeping berths or bathrooms.
Smoking in lounge areas should be limited. Smoking in the wheelhouse is allowed
if the Captain on duty is a smoker, otherwise smoking is not allowed.
In situations where the preference of smokers and nonsmokers are
in direct conflict, the preferences of nonsmokers will prevail.
Drug and Alcohol Use
Drug and alcohol use is highly detrimental to the
safety and productivity of employees in the work place. No employee may be
under the influence of any illicit drug or alcohol while in the work place,
while on duty, or while operating a vehicle or equipment owned or leased by
Offshore Oil Services, Inc. The unlawful manufacture, possession,
distribution, transfer, purchase, sale, use, or being under the influence of
alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs while on OFFSHORE's property, while
attending business-related activities, while on duty, or while operating a
vehicle or machine leased or owned by OFFSHORE is strictly prohibited and may
lead to disciplinary action, including suspension without pay or discharge.
Employees may use physician-prescribed medications, provided that the use of
such drugs does not adversely affect job performance or the safety of the
employee or other individuals in the work place. Employees must report any and
all prescribed medications to their immediate supervisor. OFFSHORE
requires all employees be tested periodically for the use of drugs and alcohol.
OFFSHORE may also require an employee involved in a job related accident to be
tested. An employee with positive test results will be subject to disciplinary
action, including termination of employment.
All new employees will be tested for the use of
drugs and alcohol before they are allowed to start work. Positive test results
will disqualify an applicant from employment. OFFSHORE, will establish
such procedures as it finds necessary to effectively enforce this policy. That
may include a requirement that employees cooperate in personal or facility
searches when there is reason to believe drugs or alcohol are present, when
their performance is impaired or when their behavior is erratic. Employees may
be required to be tested for drug use following a job related accident.
Refusing to cooperate with these procedures may be cause for disciplinary
action, including termination.
Employee
Assistance Program
The company seeks to
retain valuable employees and maintain productivity by identifying personal
problems at early stages and motivating employees to seek help. The company will
make every effort to provide direction to those employees wishing to deal with
and recover from drug or alcohol related problems.
Harassment
It is our policy to provide its
employees with a workplace that is free of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment
is prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.
Offshore Oil Services, Inc prohibits sexual harassment of it employees by other
employees or outside parties. Sexual harassment negatively affects morale,
motivation and job performance. It is inappropriate, offensive and illegal, and
will not be tolerated. Our policy is that any such conduct is strictly
prohibited. Any employee who is aware of any instances of sexual harassment
should report the illegal act immediately to his or her supervisor, the human
resource’s department or any member of management. Supervisors and managers who
receive a sexual harassment complaint are to contact the human resources
director. All complaints will be investigated promptly, impartially and
discretely. Any supervisor, agent, or other employee who is found to have
sexually harassed an employee will be subject to appropriate corrective action,
up to and including termination.
