Hiring Policy

Overview

The people of ABX Air are the reason for our success; and we are committed to hiring dedicated, hardworking, team-oriented people. ABX will comply with all federal, state and local laws in which it operates and is committed to hiring a diverse workforce that includes women, minorities, and veterans. Whenever possible, ABX strives to promote employees from within while focusing on hiring the best candidates.

Core Requirements

ABX will recruit, hire, promote, and transfer according each position’s job description without regard to a person’s race, color, religion, national origin, gender, ancestry, veteran status, disability, marital status, age, or any other factor prohibited by law. The company strongly encourages and supports promotion from within. In some situations, an internal and external search may be conducted concurrently to find the best candidate and to expedite the hiring process.

ABX will post all positions weekly; and they will remain posted for a minimum of one week for current employees except for department reorganization that does not require additional personnel.

ABX looks for people who are dedicated to their jobs and committed to being a part of a team that performs to the highest standards. As a result, individuals who are interested in other positions within the company should have completed their orientation period and performed their current job functions satisfactorily. Full-time employees must be employed by ABX for six months before being considered for another position.

The Recruitment Department and the hiring department will use an employee’s overall employment record, experience, education, competencies, performance appraisals, attendance, disciplinary records, and other job-related criteria as the basis for all employment-related decisions. In addition, as part of the hiring process, candidates may be required to take an assessment to assist in the hiring decision.

	The Recruitment Department and the hiring department will screen the top candidates for each position. After the Recruitment Department and the hiring department have selected the top candidates, a recommendation will be requested from the employee’s current management.
	An employee’s transfer to a new position will be a mutually agreed upon date between the

employee’s current management and the hiring management. While every attempt should be made for this to occur within four weeks, the employee’s new pay rate will be effective after 30 days.

Rehires can be a valuable resource and can save time and money in orientation and training costs. Consideration for rehire will occur after one year of separation from ABX. The reasons for separation, their performance during their previous periods of employment, both within and outside the company, will be considered. (see Rehire Policy)

ABX permits the employment of relatives as long as such employment does not, in the opinion of ABX, create actual or perceived conflicts of interest. For the purpose of this policy, relatives are defined as parents, children, siblings, spouses, grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, in-laws, or step-relatives.

ABX hiring decisions are not subject to the dispute resolution process.
