ENERGY service firm PSN is reviewing terms and conditions for some of its offshore workers.
The Aberdeen firm revealed the move after a man claiming to be an employee told the Press and Journal he was one of about 40 PSN workers on Canadian Natural Resources’ North Sea Ninian field who had seen their pay cut by £5,650 a year.
A spokeswoman for PSN said: “We are consulting with our workforce and discussing any potential changes with our trade union partners.
“Whilst there is a suggestion that these changes are being made to reduce costs, we have demonstrated to our employees that the value of their overall package remains the same.”
Earlier this year, it emerged that the engineering unit of another north-east energy service firm – Wood Group – was cutting contractors’ pay by an average of 10% as oil companies felt the impact of lower crude prices.
