发帖数: 206 | 1 LONDON, Jan 26 (Reuters) - BP is freezing base pay across the group this
year, the latest in a series of steps by oil majors to cut costs in response
to sinking oil prices.
Over the past year, oil majors have been selling assets to protect cash
flows and shareholder dividends.
Many have accelerated cuts in capital and operating expenditures, including
freezing some projects, as crude prices more than halved since June to below
$50 per barrel.
Salaries in the oil sector are a major part of operating expenses. BP
employed 83,900 employees in 2013 and paid them around $13.6 billion in
benefits, including wages and pensions, according to the company's website.
"The tougher external environment in 2015 means that our businesses and
functions need to work... to take a number of measures in response to the
harsh trading environment," Chief Executive Bob Dudley said in a message to
staff on Monday.
"One of the measures we are taking across the group is a general freeze to
base pay for 2015, with only a few exceptions for specific circumstances
around the world," Dudley added.
A BP spokesman would not comment directly on the internal message but
confirmed the step, saying: "We have told staff across BP that we intend to
freeze base pay worldwide for 2015.
"Together with our work to simplify and increase efficiency across BP, we
see this as a prudent measure in response to the current challenging market
environment in which BP is operating."
In December, BP announced a $1 billion programme to cut thousands of jobs
globally, including its UK North Sea operations.
