Text: Amoco Corporation's human resources department also maintained a level of control over the subsidiaries. Each subsidiary maintained its own human resources department and staff and functioned independently of Amoco Corporation's human resources department. Nevertheless, the vice president of Human Resources for Amoco Corporation oversaw the human resources departments of the subsidiaries. The employee compensation system illustrates how Amoco Corporation's human resources department interacted with its subsidiaries. Amoco Corporation's human resources department established employee compensation policies for the top 350 employees of Amoco Corporation and its subsidiaries. However, management of each individual subsidiary recommended policies for lower level employees based on that subsidiary's specific market. Amoco Corporation also oversaw the subsidiaries' human resources departments by implementing a human resources corporate policy. The Amoco Personnel Policy Manuel codified [p]olicies governing the various aspects of employee-employer relations in all domestic operations of Amoco Corporation and its subsidiaries. The manual set out broad policy, to be administered by each subsidiary in areas such as employee behavior, pay classifications, smoking, office environment, occupational health, and safety.
