It’s time for Parole Officers to stand up together and follow your Collective Agreement by requesting paid overtime. USJE will monitor all situations where Parole Officers have requested overtime and are being denied overtime pay by the employer.
Learn more about the overtime request process and your rights within the collective agreement.
As part of this ongoing campaign, USJE will release a report on the mental health and well-being of Parole Officers on May 17.
