    PROBATIONARY STATUS OF NEW EMPLOYEES Your first ninety (90) days of employment with Golding Barge Line, Inc., will be considered a probationary or trial period. This 90 day period will give you the opportunity to decide whether you like working with GBL and will give us the opportunity to determine if your work measures up to our standards. At any time, should we decide that your work habits or performance do not meet our standards, we may discharge you from employment. Likewise, should you decide to resign, you may do so at any time without any negative effect on your employment record.

    AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT STATUS Keep in mind that the policies and procedures set forth by Golding Barge Line, Inc., may be changed at any time. Moreover, the Employment Application should not be interpreted in any way to be an employment contract since your employment is “at-will.” The term “at-will” means that either you or GBL has the right to end your employment at any time with or without cause. The Probationary Period discussed above has no effect on your at-will status. Therefore, either before, during or after the Probationary Period, your at-will status remains unchanged and in no way affects either our right or your right to terminate our work relationship at any time either with or without cause.

    • United States Coast Guard Requirements
      The United States Coast Guard regulates the marine industry and its rules and regulations must be met. GBL has developed specific operating procedures to keep our vessels and crew in compliance.

      Initially, you will be given training in company policies and procedures through our orientation program, and hands-on training aboard a barge and towboat. At all times safety will and must take priority for all crew members. Upon recommendation by the captain and based on the business demand, deckhands will be trained as Tankermen to transfer liquid cargoes aboard our barges.

      After you have been successfully trained to transfer liquid cargoes, Golding Barge Line, Inc., will submit your application for a Tankerman-“Person in Charge of the Barge” document to the United States Coast Guard for approval. Upon submission, the United States Coast Guard will review your criminal history and conduct extensive background checks using government agency databases prior to approving your application. Previous convictions for any offense greater than a speeding ticket will show up and be reviewed by the USCG.
