Our business is with people and we understand our obligations both legally and morally to ensure the welfare and fair treatment of all our employees. To this end Octavian works to a strict ethical policy to ensure that all our employees get the best treatment and benefits possible and that their hard work is well rewarded.
Specifically:
Octavian agrees to offer holiday pay and guaranteed overtime rates for its workers
Octavian is an equal opportunity employer
Octavian agrees to the 48 hour working week agreement, unless specifically contracted out at the request of our workers
Octavian carries out comprehensive insurances, both for travel and employers’ liability
Octavian is fully compliant with, and in many cases pays in excess of, the national minimum wage
Octavian believes in investing in its employees, and is heading for Investor in People status
Octavian fully assists in housing staff in remote locations for temporary contractual work
At the same time Octavian is aware of the importance of providing our clients with hard working, reliable and trustworthy employees. We therefore hold vetting and screening as a very high priority. Our vetting procedure entails a 5 year telephone vet followed by a full 10 year screening process to verify the suitability of each applicant, and to confirm that the information they have provided is correct. This includes contacting previous employers by telephone to request confirmation by fax or letter of the applicant’s information and to verify that they would re-employ the applicant. Candidates are asked to supply a proof of address, passport or drivers licence, and a subject access certificate or CRB check depending upon the role, to prove that they do not have a criminal record. Once all of this documentation is checked and verified the candidate’s employment is confirmed.
