The Angolan government has announced a new recruitment policy for oil industry under which all oil companies must employ Angolans in all categories and posts, Angola's official news agency ANGOP reported on Saturday.
The hire of foreign employees will only be done through the authorization of the Ministry of Petroleum, ANGOP quoted a new government document as saying.
Under the new system on the recruitment, integration, training and development of employees in the oil industry, the document said oil companies already operating in Angola must send to the Ministry of Petroleum a name list of foreign staff employed by them and indicate their names, occupations, wage standards and any other social privilege to justify their recruitment as well as a confirming document of their qualification and description of their work posts.
According to the new recruitment policy, oil industry employees, whether they are foreigners or Angolans, should be paid the same salaries and enjoy the same social benefits and the same working conditions if they work in the same category and posts.
Any kinds of discrimination are forbidden, said the new recruitment policy.
Oil companies must also sign a contract with the Ministry of Petroleum in which the obligations regarding their human resources development should be established.
Angola is one of the leading oil producers in Africa with oil production of some 1.9 million barrels per day.
