Saipem to Pay Up for Overtime Work Violation on Rig Posted 05/03/2021 10:02 Italian oilfield services provider Saipem Norway will pay an agreed amount to two offshore workers in Norway due to the violation of working hours regulations in order to regularise the agreement between Saipem and the workers. Norwegian union, Industri Energi, said on Thursday it has ensured that two ROV pilots in Saipem are compensated a total of over NOK 966,000 (about $113,300) after violating the working hours regulations over the course of two months. “This shows how important the trade unions are”, said Industri Energi OSA inspector, Wayne Pena. Industri Energi received a notification of a breach of working time regulations on board the semi-submersible rig Scarabeo 8 last autumn.
