Has anyone received the testing email for the recent posting? I got the email saying I’ll receive another email to complete testing within 24 hours and haven’t got it.

My friend received his testing link today I believe he said.

Let me know how the testing goes for you. I am curious what has changed in the recruitment process.

Good luck.

Your standard shifts will be 7am to 7pm and 9am to 9pm as well as 7pm to 7am (night tour). There are a variety of other shifts which are overtime or accommodations. Hope this helps.

If you took two minutes to simply look inside this discussion forum, you would find the answer you are looking for over 20 times.

Hi guys,

Besides TSDC, which provincial jails are currently offering weekly 40h in Ontario?

Thank you in advance.

TEDC offers 40 per week but nothing is guaranteed and could change at anytime.

TEDC just received a batch of 11 recruits that are currently shadowing and are going to be receiving another batch of 18 next month. As a result, new recruits are going to be scheduled for 24 hrs (2 shifts per week). This is what the previous poster meant when they said things "could change at anytime."

When you say the new recruits will be getting a scheduled 24 hours a week is that all fixed term or is it just the new batch of recruits do you happen to know?

Are all new recruits being switched to part time? Including the ones that have already been hired and currently working as temp for a few months? Has this happened in the past? Why the change?

All recruits are hired as fixed term contract and no hours are guaranteed , it is in the contract you sign when you are hired. Up to now there had been 40 hrs given but things are changing depending where you are at I am sure.
