It was reported to the team of Click Petróleo e Gás on Friday (20) about the layoff of more than 30 employees from the company, as they cannot maintain them without services, consequently without cash to pay them.

According to some employees, the company will pay all labor rights, and this week, a company doctor from Brascipa is expected to go to the operational base to conduct the demissional ASOs for these employees.

The workers understand, but the main concern is whether these same individuals will be called back after the crisis. Click Petróleo e Gás believes so, after all, the layoffs were caused by extraordinary factors, not by individual competence.

There are other reports of offshore companies facing the same problem; we are organizing the information and will pass it on to you as soon as possible. Take care and follow the containment guidelines to avoid Covid-19 infection.

It is worth noting that even Petrobras had to take emergency measures to contain the virus’s spread on its platforms and other offshore units; only essential production services are being maintained to avoid shortages of basic oil supplies. Read the official statement from the state company here.
